I think this is the central matter when it comes to primitives for asynchronous programming.

There exist many ways we can think about async tasks. The JavaScript ecosystem provides for multiple. i.e., event callbacks, async/await, generators, and more.

Programmer reach for tools which best match how we have learned to model these problems in our heads.

It's okay for people to use what works best for them.
