There are very few situations where it's necessary to block the current thread until a task has completed. The only obvious one that comes to mind is when you're writing a console application, and you want to use async code. And with .NET 4.5 or higher, it's usually better to call task.GetAwaiter().GetResult() rather than task.Wait(), to avoid having any exceptions wrapped in an AggregateException.
C#
static class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        MainAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult();
    }
    
    static async Task MainAsync()
    {
        ...
    }
}

But in most cases, there's usually a better option than blocking the current thread.
