Answer
Blocking the event loop reduces scalability.
In a reactive system, the event loop is pivotal for handling asynchronous tasks. Blocking it, such as with a long-running operation, halts the processing of other events, leading to performance bottlenecks. For example, blocking on a network call can delay other requests, like live price updates in an e-commerce app, reducing responsiveness.
