Well that's because they are. And it is one of my favorite examples to explain the power of monads actually.
Most humans prefer programming in the async/await style compared to using promises/futures with callbacks (commonly called "callback hell"). In most languages, you need explicit language support to enable async/await by adding new keywords into the language. (And you are completely at the mercy of your language designers. Looking at you Java.)
Haskellers, because they grok monads and futures are just monads, are able to code in an async/await style without any special syntax specifically for async/await. They just use the same notation they use for other monads.
