This time I have a very short question.
Is there a deeper reason why ParallelMapThread does not exist?

Many functional operations including MapThread can be easily parallelized by composing the function with ParallelSubmit, then collecting all concurrent jobs:
WaitAll[MapThread[ParallelSubmit @* f, {{a1, a2, a3}, {b1, b2, b3}}]]

3Is there any chance to get this long-standing unpacking bug fixed? It was described more than 4 years ago and reported to support multiple times. – Szabolcs Oct 07 '16 at 09:19

May be because its easy to implement?
MapThread[f, {{a1, a2, a3}, {b1, b2, b3}}]
(* {f(a1,b1),f(a2,b2),f(a3,b3)} *)
ParallelMap[f @@ # &, {{a1, a2, a3}, {b1, b2, b3}} // Transpose]
(* {f(a1,b1),f(a2,b2),f(a3,b3)} *)
