This. Asphalt is a temp fix until the next crew comes to reform the curb. Then a crew comes to pour the curb, but as concrete volume goes, yards of concrete only have so much time in the truck before it firms up so they need an efficient collection of forms.
Then another crew has to come to remove the forms before the final crew can come to pour and finish the sidewalk. Usually winter comes somewhere in between these steps.
You'll accept your asphalt and learn to like it.
I should add, a major burden on this situation is the massive amount of infill construction that breaks the sidewalks for utility connections. There's some in my neighbourhood that have been asphalt patches for a year but they're on a list. Way down a list.
