I'm pretty sure a lot of people don't understand the tradeoffs and don't really need concurrent code. There are really only a couple of use-cases where it's really handy: for example an API gateway, where you only get and send HTTP requests. Other than that, I don't see how it worth the insane complexity (compared to sync code).

You can write web servers in a sync manner; Flask, Django is way better if you only need an API, choosing FastAPI for a simple REST API is a huge mistake.
