i'm always surprised to hear things like this. it's certainly not unfounded - it's just so obvious and universally accepted that it doesn't require explanation - one would think.
I think it may be obvious to people with a c/++ background, but when I was in school in the early 2000's, they taught you concurrent programming in Java via threads.
And the concurrency primitives and frameworks in languages like Java and C# are so easy to use there's a whole generation of us who think that threading is the easy way to do concurrency.
