What’s the point? Updating four apps four times as slowly simultaneously is the same as updating four apps at four times the speed consecutively, and you would have the same internet speed either way.
In my experience (not in Android apps but in Arch Linux updates) parallel downloads are almost always waaay faster. Magnitudes faster. Using multiple cores? Is it the bottleneck actually enforced by the server? I don’t know, I just know it works.
And if they did it, it’s because it works on Android too.
