Building on top of this tutorial, showing an example of why async functions are important in JS would have been a nice addition. Like you mentioned, asynchronous functions are typically used in data fetching scenarios. However, you don't want your application to "block" while it waits for the function to return. Adding another step after the main call would have illustrated how JS handles async functions in the code's flow.
