Maybe because you want to keep the dependency tree under control and bringing in tokio suddenly adds fifty crates you never asked for. Every crate is a potential liability!

Tokio is developed very carefully (they’ve even developed their own thread race checker for it – loom).

Adding it to your project probably increases the average code quality:)

I don't doubt the code quality but most of the additional crates are not tokio's. Also statistically, any added complexity incurs more risk.
