I completely disagree with you and I do write performance code (but not specifically HPC) and my current day job is highly async code with a GUI

Are you saying GUIs in general don't need multithreading or just that you think you haven't needed it so far? Or that you use some high-level async framework that hides just the synchronisation bits (at the cost of async type complexity)?
I use a high-level async framework. It works extremely well so far. I do need to add code occasionally, but that's because it's an in-house lib that isn't a year old yet
