Interesting take on comparability vs performance. I gotta imaging capturing user data and sending to a cloud collector is also a big culprit.

You can't automatically adapt that. Multi thread safe programming takes extra work (or certain languages or frameworks that are able to optimize this). And even then, not all types of tasks make sense to multithread.

The OS still does take advantage of multiple cores, though. You never have just one process running. The OS will schedule different processes on different cores.
