Moreover, these days there is a clear trend towards OpenMP, so it has become even harder to pressure the manufacturers to fix threads, because they have 101 argument why you should port your code to OpenMP instead.

I can't see OpenMP being an alternative to threads. You can happily acquire and release the GIL from OpenMP threads, for example.
