Edit: Nevermind, they eventually bothered.

Unity has async too [1]. It's just that in a rare display of sanity they chose to not deprecate the IEnumerator stuff.

It's ancient. The latest version of Unity only partially supports C# 9. We're up to C# 14 now. But that's just the language version. The Mono runtime is only equivalent to .NET Framework 4.8 so all of the standard library improvements since .NET (Core) are missing. Not directly related to age but it's performance is also significantly worse than .NET. And Unity's garbage collector is worse than the default one in Mono.
