Except it's not like threaded code, because there aren't necessarily multiple threads. And with a single thread event loop, you don't need locking and other synchronization mechanisms at all, further reinforcing the point.

Async/await is literally all about explicit continuations. It's not about concurrency or parallelism per se, although it can be used in that context.
