That's async calling sync. But if you're in sync and the only option is to call an async library because the author didn't want to make two versions then you have to pull in the async runtime as well.

Not everyone wants to pull in an async runtime just to run make a call to an API.

My whole point is async puts a huge burden on library authors that will force users to diverge in their approaches and that will ultimately hurt the community
