Answer
They don't block OS threads, allowing better resource utilization.
Virtual Threads are particularly suited for I/O-bound tasks because when they are waiting for an I/O operation, like a database query in a flash sale, they don't block an OS thread. This means the OS thread can be reassigned to other tasks, improving overall system efficiency and responsiveness.
