I don't think you understand what my reasoning is

That you shouldn't restrict the use of certain tools/constructs/features in order to make areas like concurrency easier. Apparently you misunderstood my analogy. For one thing, it is an analogy, and not a statement you would use goto and manual memory management.

would generally counsel against goto and manual memory management, which are harder tools for solving harder problems,

That is a matter of scale. At small scales, "just using a goto" seems easier. It's only at larger scales that it becomes untenable spaghetti, so is harder. Herein is another analogy which can be related to concurrency and parallelism.
