When the async keyword was released in Python, that was during the "callback hell" era of Javascript. The first codes using async in Python were mostly written by developers coming from the JS world. Reading code written that way may have turn off a lot of Python devs. IMO, 2020 async code is cleaner in both Javascript and Python, maybe some haters would change their mind if they give a second chance to "newer" async codes.
