I am not sure what exactly you are missing, isn't this a native OS thread either POSIX or Win32?

The documentation that you linked to is not describing native OS threads. I am sure that the OCaml implementation is good for a lot of applications.

However, because I am used to writing multithreaded code using pthread or std::thread, I find the standard OCaml model uncomfortable and limiting. Its mostly a matter of personal taste but this is the reason I stopped using OCaml.
