There are many threads, but threads are not isolated by the OS to the same extent as processes; hence, their fates are all intertwined. The user can't kill one

There are many threads, but threads are not isolated by the OS to the same extent as processes; hence, their fates are all intertwined. The user can't kill one misbehaving thread, and even if you could, you couldn't expect the program to be stable afterward.
