It's not unfair the thread asked if CI would implement this and the answer to that is no.

A non-blocking request is the same in any language. Node was designed this way from the ground up and you have to go out of your way to make blocking requests. PHP has evolved in the opposite direction and while they've made great strides it's toolkit is still inferior in that regard. How many third party PHP libraries were written to be asynchronous? What about Node?
I'm not going to argue with you as this is all common knowledge. Most server side languages were not designed with realtime in mind and writing tests in a vacuum is not indicative of real world results. Can they do it? Sure, you can make most languages do almost anything. Should you? The answer to that is a resounding no.
