I mean single threaded + sync.

Sync options are useful. If everything is on the net probably less so. But if you have a couple of 1ms io ops that you want to get done asap, it's better to get them done asap.

and async prevents this how?

[Yokohiii]

my statement was in response to "fs.readSync shouldn't exist". that is how.

if it didn't exist, the async version would still exist, which you could use to get it done asap
