If so then why does it spawn multiple threads when it could just spawn one for listening that places all HttpExchange instances into a BlockingQueue or something for the developer to use in a single or multithreaded environment?

Your email system mangled one of your reply emails. If you want a really great 
Java embedded web server I recommend using this one instead:

https://grizzly.java.net/

It has way more features than the ancient com.sun.httpserver, and it's used in 
Glassfish and some other servlet containers.
