"most real world applications" is a meaningless phrase, I doubt anyone can quantify "real world applications" one way or the other

also the result is still interesting, why wouldn't goroutines scale just as well, but apparently didn't?

That's fair, but perhaps I can rephrase it to say that embarrassingly parallel applications are a well known edge case and not the norm.
