Only in languages/runtimes without threads, like Javascript.
In Rust, async vs threads is a performance tradeoffs (and it's definitely not always clear who the winner will be), and mostly relevant when you have tasks >> cores. Something like curl would have practically 0 reasons to be async, but of course is still subject to internet latency.
