> Obviously, this is horribly worse performance than if they just used script tags (and ditched a script loader altogether), because with script tags in the markup, the browser automatically loads in parallel but executes in order.

So why is async needed at all? As you point out, parallel load/serial execution is our normal script loading behavior. Non-serialized execution is a terrible idea as it leads to untestable, seemingly random content breakages.
