"Whereas in Node JS you initiate a request, you actually create a thread that may be destroyed when the request is completed"

It is incomplete as information. This is actually correct for the first request on the server, when you will have other requests or simultaneous requests, Node.js will still have one thread async processing.

Other languages like rust, java, .net have those type of concepts, I mean multi-threading approach.
