There are many platforms that do not support threads at all. They're in

"Desktop" type applications are only piece of the picture. There's a
whole embedded world out there that doesn't know from threads.

Interrupt handling in any of its forms is theoretically a form of threads.
In embedded applications it is rather abundant too.
This discussion is too much oriented towards threads in a language that
are imported from an underlying OS.
(In fact we should speak about concurrent processing: the ability to
express in a computer language that instructions are to be executed
at the same time, be it for real, or by cleverness in the compiler.)

The inability to think concurrently makes up for a lot of poor
programming. In fact a GUI requires concurrent thinking, and a novice
programmer shouldn't be let near a program with a GUI interface.
