However, *not* using 'await' doesn't mean the operation
will be done without blocking. Rather, it won't be done
at all (and is usually an error, but there's no way for
the implementation to detect it at the time).

I don't blame Steve for being confused. All the
terminology around async/await is inherently confusing
and counterintuitive, IMO. I'm disappointed that we've
ended up here.
