I thought this was building up to: here is who it's NOT good for and how to help them.
But it doesn't. It just says it's great for everyone. Which it obviously isn't... It's good for some, horrible for others.

Async communication, like most things, isn't equally well-suited to all scenarios (never mind people).
I worked in a primarily async environment and while I, as an individual, like many aspects of this manner of work it is sometimes a terribly inefficient way to get things done. In some instances a meeting with a handful of people can save you weeks of back and forth on Slack, each time with a bunch of context switching.
