No, this is separate from prepared statements or the extended protocol.  You can do single-row returns with either basic or extended protocol.

It's unfortunate that cursor as become overloaded, but I think that's something we just have to accept at this point.  It sounds like the real issue is that it would be convenient to have a single async function that does the semantic equivalent of:

curs = connection.cursor()
curs.execute(query, *parameters)
for row in curs.fetchall():
   yield row
curs.close()
