While I agree that many people don't need mass multi-threading, I don't count developers among those.
Compilation and transpiration are computationally intensive, and usually take advantage of multi-threading. Developers often also run multiple virtual machines and containers, for example to run a database, message bus or blob store.
As a developer, I'll take all the compute capacity I can get, thank you very much!
