Why is Suspense fundamentally incompatible with synchronous rendering models?

Expert React
Quick Answer Suspense requires the rendering model to be interruptible รขโ‚ฌโ€ a component can stop mid-render (by throwing a Promise) and resume later. Synchronous rendering models run to completion; they have no mechanism to suspend mid-tree and resume later. Concurrent mode's interruptible fiber architecture is a prerequisite for Suspense to work.

Answer

Suspense requires pausing and resuming rendering. Synchronous models cannot interrupt execution, making Suspense impossible without async fiber architecture.
