on the software side - in distributed systems - most systems when containerized assume they're gonna be utilizing one CPU core in a horizontally distributed manner i.e many pods etc. the other pods could be on different machines.
then the language platforms e.g JVM, Golang, JS are going the route of green threads/event loops which take advantage of the 1 platform thread to its maximum advantage.
the only software systems to my knowledge that can take advantage of the massive CPUs we see these days are either the massive DBs - but then even those have gone the way of separating Storage & Compute.
Unless maybe the CPU vendors - are making these powerful CPUs knowing they will be rented by the thread ?
what does everyone think ?

I think you answered your question already. AWS buys it -> you get instances that use a small part of the huge CPUs basically.
