I think people in the Python world just don't yet have a good mental model of async either. I recently have had conversations with a number of people who have switched to FastAPI because "it's faster" even when they're using it to serve ML models which are compute bound and there's nothing you can await on.

I think the mental model is the right thing to focus on. I'm not denying there are cases where async at the edge of an app can make sense but there's no free lunch and i that doesn't appear to be well understood.

Maybe i will write a blog post, if nothing else than to get my own thoughts in order.
