Most games these days do in fact use all available cores.
Game developers have been talking openly for a few years now about how they use lockless data structures in multi-threaded engines.

Nice summary. I would add to that the upshot of function is the so called concept of purity. Ie. pure functions, which are usually the default in functional languages. The advantage of which is given a set of inputs to your function you will always get the same result.

As a largely happy OSX user I can say it's doesn't just work either.
It does work as I expect or hope more often than my experiences on Windows XP or Ubuntu, but it has plenty of little faults that, in some ways, are less forgivable since they have such a small set of hardware to test for.
Three illustrative examples:
1) Search the apple forums for "tap to click stops working"
Apple is more or less silent on this old bug. Does not just work.
2) Try and record whatever sound is playing on your machine in say, Audacity or whatever.
There is no "Wave Out Mix" or equivalent by default on OSX. You have to work around it with things like Sound Flower. Does not just work.
3) Try and cut and paste in Finder or merge two directories.
Does not just work.
Kill that meme and maybe Apple will try even harder.
