Always demanding no waiting for async io to finish is not realistic since many applications cannot do useful work until the results are in over the wire. Results of network calls are often used as inputs to computations and not simply as populating views. Until the computations are done, the app can really do no useful work. In these cases, requiring no waiting on AsyncIO (.get() call) only vastly over-complicates the app for no beneficial purpose.
