OK, but then, outside of that kind of use case, most applications are not trivially parallelizable like that.

Maybe I miscommunicated, but I don't mean that you literally are doing all these things, but that something is–some combination of the language, the runtime, and the developer. My point is that no matter who is doing it, these things have costs–runtime performance, memory use, limits on the usable data structures and programming techniques.
