Please stop bickering about verilog vs vhdl - if you use NBAs the scheduler works exactly the same in modern day simulators. There is no crown jewel in vhdl anymore. Also type system is annoying. Its just in your way, not helping at all.

You're not wrong, but blocking assignments (and their equivalent in VHDL, variables), are useful as local variables to a process/always block. For instance to factor common sub-expressions and not repeat them. So using only non-blocking assignments everywhere would lead to more ugly code.

Ofc blocking assign is used too and even it that always_comb case scheduler splits eval/assign into 2 phases!
