This is true and this is the root cause of the misunderstanding from the blog. Promises execute immediately, await blocks on a promise. Promise.all and Promise.allSettled allow you to compose promises and block on a single promise instead of multiple awaits but have nothing to do with executing a promise. The misunderstanding in the article has to do with misunderstanding when a promise is executed. It’s easy to wonder why calling await on a promise directly vs calling it on a variable containing a promise is different. The difference is promises execute immediately on creation while await blocks on a promise. So a promise that is created after an await will be executed after that awaited promise is resolved.
