I have to ask, how does all of this fit with the

You asked about Z80 MT outside of MP/M. I pointed out that there's more
than one way to skin a cat. In particular, MT does not have to be an
integral feature of the OS itself.
In particular, for any system to make optimum use of MT, applications have
to be designed with MT in mind. That lets out most of the Z80
off-the-shelf apps and also goes a long way toward explaining why MP/M was
so miserable.
