That may be true but also is due to applications often having very sequential IO patterns even when they don't need to be. I hope we'll get some convenience wrappers around io_uring that make batching of many small IO calls in a synchronous manner simple and easy for cases where you don't want to deal with async runtimes. E.g. bulk_statx() or fsync_many() would be prime candidates for batching.
