TLS is the evil here. Anyone working with TLS is either writing an

As long as we are talking about a closed system that works exclusively
on this fiber based concurrency model, I completely agree with you
(fiber local storage would be fine, though).
But we have the "unfortunate" situation that the language is not an
isolated ecosystem. There are many C libraries that do thread-specific
things in one way or another, or worse, make use of ordinary global
variables without any protection against data races, and we simply
cannot ignore that.
