Processing simultaneously is the purpose of parallel query execution,
yes. But I see no reason for that not to work equally well for
unpartitioned tables.

Disk I/O is already pretty well optimized and parallelized, I think.
Trying to parallelize a seq scan on the Postgres side is likely to yield
far inferior performance.
