I don't think we need to distinguish between platform and virtual threads here
at all. Isn't it the case that virtual threads also have a run() method and
they too terminate when run() completes as described (together with UEH)? The
fact most Thread run() methods call something else's run() method is
immaterial. We don't know what a run() method will do, but whatever it is once
it completes then the thread has terminated.
