Answer
To enhance responsiveness and scalability.
Decoupling allows an HTTP request to be handled without dedicating a thread to wait on blocking operations. This design improves responsiveness and supports a higher number of concurrent connections. In a chat application, decoupling allows message handling to be responsive even when awaiting database read operations.
