Async isn't just for the datacenter. Consider the case of a raspberry pi 3. loading that thing up with threads is going to bog it down and lead to bad performance. keeping just a couple threads with tasks scheduled across them is a much better use of resources
That's the primary reason why I got into async programming in the first place. My infrastructure has always been single-board computers, and single-board computers have always had low amounts of RAM and slower CPUs than your average computer.
