Synchronous XHR request in imageDynamicMedia

https://github.com/adobe/aem-core-wcm-components/blob/905f0d4e4e4d4e2b1486fb442ac4cbfd69bc72f9/content/src/content/jcr_root/apps/core/wcm/components/image/v3/image/clientlibs/site/js/imageDynamicMedia.js#L40

Is it intentional that XMLHttpRequest request be done as Synchronous versus Asynchronous in imageDynamicMedia.js for v3 component?

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest/Synchronous_and_Asynchronous_Requests

Per MDN:
Synchronous XHR is now deprecated and should be avoided in favor of asynchronous requests.

Start at content/src/content/jcr_root/apps/core/wcm/components/image/v3/image/clientlibs/site/js/imageDynamicMedia.js#L40 and compare the XMLHttpRequest usage with the linked MDN guidance. Determine whether the synchronous request is intentional for the v3 image component, then verify the component’s expected behavior before deciding what evidence or tests would demonstrate that the issue is resolved.
