Isn't Software Transactional Memory more for concurrency than parallel computing though?

True. People tend to lump these concepts together. I think people in general are interested in utilizing more cores and so they typically are interested in STM as well, although frankly I haven't ever used it in production systems. The rest of the parallel/concurrent tools are super useful and extremely easy to use and also know assertively that you won't have deadlocks or race conditions etc.
