Except that Linux AIO (io_submit) isn't always asynchronous, and you can't easily tell when it will block the caller.
Some folks asking for preadv/pwritev are actually doing so because they rejected Linux AIO for being too broken to use.
They are preferring to use preadv/pwritev in userspace helper threads, than Linux AIO, because at least with threads it is always asynchronous.
