While this is true, I've found over time it's easier for me to quickly see in my code if I need to `await` on something if the function is an `async` function and not just that it returns a Promise.

I prefer

async function foo() { return await new Promise(...) }

as opposed to

function foo() { return new Promise(...) }

They're the same thing for the most part but the latter I have to potentially dig deeper into the function to confirm it returns a promise compared to the former.
