It wouldn’t surprise me if Microsoft spends more time and effort on tuning and providing OS services for the particular commercial applications that are typically used on high core-count Windows server boxes, several of the most prominent of which are also Microsoft products.

I suspect SQL Server has no trouble scaling to 64 cores and beyond.

That is true. I have seen some terrible queries written on enterprise hardware that returned at the drop of a hat without being cached ahead of time.
