Async has ecosystem fracture issues. Creating graph data structures require you to understand more about borrow checker.

Majority of people will probably want to use Rust for web? Which makes async needs to be ergonomic enough if it wants consider wide adoption.

So does Python. Asyncio is mediocre at best and difficult to express certain patterns in. Other libraries are far better, but not in the standard library.

Agreed it could be a little more ergonomic, but it wasn't a blocker. I was able to figure it all out in a weekend, and write plenty of services with it.
