I think that notion is very specific to Rust's design.

Golang for example doesn't have that trait, where the user (or their runtime) must drive a future towards completion by polling.

Right, but Go is an application-level language and doesn't target environments where threads aren't a meaningful concept. It's more an artifact of wanting to target embedded environments than something specific to Rust.
