It's an implementation difference with big practical implications. 'Fundamental divide at the root of all concurrency' seems more than a little overstated.

Almost every approach to concurrency fits into either shared memory or message passing.

Those that cross between the two are usually notable for doing that and describe themselves as a hybrid approach.

I think it divides the literature pretty cleanly in two.
