Caching is a bit dangerous, and most shells don't support asynchronous prompt updates. And cross-shell support seems to be a prime feature. Spending probably a lot of effort just for improving zsh experience might just not have been important enough yet.

Turns out my main issue was due to having a slow node --version command due to using asdf!
