That's what hyperthreading is for, which implies having the same number of threads as logical cores.

Hyperthreading and out of order execution are meant to accomplish keeping the execution units busy.

No it implies having the same number of OS threads as hardware threads, which is more than the number of hardware cores.

That's what logical cores means. Hardware threads / hyper threads are also called logical cores by the bios and OS.
