Im not a tech guy, so I'm oblivious to it, but is there a way to future proof cpu usage? Like, give a program/game access to whatever many cores/threads there can be?

Splitting work to be done simultaneously is very hard task. Then you have various other issues like stuff that don't like being worked by more than 1 guy. Imagine if you have a white board with a number, your job is to read the number on the board, add 1 to it in your mind, erase the current value on the board and write and the new number, on loop. Doing this solo is fine, now add a second guy doing the exact same thing as you at the same time but you both are unware of each others presence. Now imagine 500 people doing the same thing at the same time. You can see how it can get complicated both to design the system but also various unexpected issues can arise when you have more than 1 guy working on it.
