Sometimes you still need to work with promises even inside an async context. Imagine an async function which needs to `await Promise.all([...])`. In this case, `then()` can be a useful tool to make new promises from an async call.
Of course.. I was referring to having an async function, but having it create a "new Promise" that in and of itself is just calling a method that already returns a promise... it's creating extra closures and overhead that aren't necessary at all.
Sometimes I'll add a `.catch(() => null)` or similar for manipulating a specific call with `.then`, if I want to manipulate something out of flow. Such as a convenience method to normalize api fetch calls, etc. That's just useful functionality, not making literally wrappers for no benefit or reason.
