I think you're missing the point. The purpose isn't to generate a sequence of numbers, but to illustrate how the Yield keyword is used in VB.NET. Sure, getting a sequence of numbers may be straightforward, but what about a lazy-populated list of all files on a computer? That can be done using Yield - and more importantly, WRITTEN like a normal synchronous function. Let's see you do that with map.
