`sendResponse`가 Chrome의 `chrome.runtime.onMessage`에서 비동기 기능을 기다리지 않는 이유는 무엇입니까?

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((msg, sender, sendResponse) => {
  if (msg.message === "get_thumbnails") {
    processMessage(msg).then(sendResponse);
    return true; // keep the channel open for sendResponse
  }
});

async function processMessage(msg) {
  // Process the message and return the result
}

if ('crbug.com/1185241') { // Check for Chrome version
  const {onMessage} = chrome.runtime, {addListener} = onMessage;
  onMessage.addListener = fn => addListener.call(onMessage, (msg, sender, respond) => {
    const res = fn(msg, sender, respond);
    if (res instanceof Promise) return !!res.then(respond, console.error);
    if (res !== undefined) respond(res);
  });
}

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(async msg => {
  if (msg === 'foo') {
    const res = await fetch('https://foo/bar');
    const payload = await res.text();
    return {payload};
  }
});
