1. It would make it terribly recursive

2. Then you'd get a synchronous transfer and if that's OK, you can just as
    well use the easy interface.

3. Sometimes you need to call the function without having had the write
    callback called, and calling it from within the write function would be
    pointless many times since there may not be more data to take care of at
    that moment.

Summary: bad idea. ;-)

You can avoid multithreading, but then you need to adapt your program slightly
to how the multi interface works.
