Keeping stuff outside of UI Thread is a basic thing for any kind of UI programming. The Mobile OSes just pointed out how deeply important it is - as on the backend, most devs rarely worry about side-way execution and on web frontend - the heaviest operation in most cases (ajax) is 99% used asynchronously.
About Android - which API to use is a little bit more about the desired end goal (User experience/The business requirement). From developer perspective, I'm sad about ever-changing ways of hot to do things forced by Google, but I am happy from user perspective :)
