Could it be because some of it, say, places a delegate, bound to a closure, into an immutable struct within a child thread's run function, and passes that to another thread via a send to be called?

I think so, I mean, if it is a one-off POC, nobody is going to build their uber-for-can-opener startup on top of it. But if billions of closures are actively passed around every day by thousands of projects, and lots of bug fixes and features are deployed continuously, why not build your airbnb-for-doghouses empire using that library today?
