Why there's no await when calling find methods?

(It’s not an issue, just a question)

Why there’s no await when calling find methods?

for example:

const getUserById = async (id) => {
  return User.findById(id);         <-- no await
};

or:

const getUserByEmail = async (email) => {
  return User.findOne({ email });   <-- no await
};

I thought that maybe the rationale was: “no await before mongoose methods”, but it can’t be that, because there is an await before other mongoose methods, such as create, for example:

const createUser = async (userBody) => {
  if (await User.isEmailTaken(userBody.email)) {
    throw new ApiError(httpStatus.BAD_REQUEST, 'Email already taken');
  }
  const user = await User.create(userBody);    <-- has await
  return user;
};

@turanibrahim That will work too 😃 but consult link referenced in @Sicria’s reply.

It’s unfortunate that this issue was closed, as my question wasn’t really answered. The answers here justify what happens in getUserById (which has no await), but then - by the same rationale - shouldn’t the await in createUser (which has an await) be removed?
