Answer
Blocking the Event Loop can cause performance bottlenecks.
In a non-blocking reactive system, the Event Loop is designed to handle many simultaneous operations efficiently. Blocking it, for example by running a blocking database query within the loop, can delay all other tasks, significantly degrading performance.
