In case the loop doesn't do anything async, hub becomes unresponsive: it cannot stop program using central button, it doesn't react to stopping from the app. The only way to recover from such state is to power-cycle the hub.
yieldis a safety measure that ensures that hub has an opportunity to stop the program.I've tested Mindstorms App 10.5.0 and this is what it produces for a program with empty infinite loop:
I haven't checked, but possibly other kinds of loops also need this.
