I've come to view this as a feature, personally. It means I'm a lot slower to respond to things, but it helps me to avoid getting drawn into heated conversations.
Getting a push notification or just seeing a little red badge makes me optimize for "be the first to answer". Seeing responses in a polling/async way means I can take a breath, read others' answers, and only respond if somebody else hasn't made the same point already anyway.
