As someone familiar with asyncio, I don't understand what this is or what it's for. What's an activity, workflow, or worker?

That's the normal asyncio.sleep. What does backed by Temporal mean? Reading further, it appears that Temporal is replacing the default asyncio event loop. I don't understand why every third party async Python library/framework feels the need to take over the default event loop instead of just building on top of it.
