This is a major annoyance for me. In one PR I reviewed recently, it introduced concurrency where it was not needed and then cascaded to a bunch of synchronization logic everywhere as a result. What could have been 30 lines or so turned into a couple hundred line diff and the submitter did not think to question it. It was harder to review and introduced a potential for data races with zero benefit. These are all competent people I work with, who do good work normally too.
