> I have a stupid question, why isn't an async runtime a language feature of rust?

Because it was considered inimical to the core values and purpose of the language, which is to be a systems language.

An async runtime being a language feature means a runtime is a language feature, and that is very much undesirable (in fact it used to be part of the language and was removed as it "settled" into its niche from its original design, which was much higher level and more applicative).
