Answer
It reduces the system's responsiveness and scalability.
Blocking operations in a non-blocking event loop can lead to performance bottlenecks, as a blocked thread cannot serve other requests. For example, a blocking database call in an event loop thread of a WebFlux application could cause delays for other requests, reducing the system's throughput.
