> Beam doesn't have anything to do with supervisors that's an OTP thing

Are you aware Erlang was designed to be a VM(the BEAM), a language for that VM(Erlang) and a comprehensive set of patterns and infrastructure for fault tolerance(OTP)?

All these as a whole are Erlang and the whole reason it has such reputation. I recommend reading https://erlang.org/download/armstrong_thesis_2003.pdf

> But they aren't core to how the BEAM handles concurrent processing.

They are, unless you want to reduce it to "it's just a pre-emptive scheduler with greentrheads".

> In my experience I think my statement still stands.

They're similar in that both have (mostly)pre-emptive schedulers, that's about it.
