Yes, we are. But creating and synchronizing threads needs often a lot of overhead, measured in lines of code and in performance. OpenMP is a specification, how to parallize code blocks easily and give the compiler enough hints to optimize the code. It is up to compiler developers to support it and provide an implementation. Probably we can not name ours "OpenMP".
