Only the 10 threads' parent process can execute the above line and

In general, a "do not" statement can't justify a "can not" statement.
It would be an error say I "can not" eat a pickle because I "do not"
have any pickles. I can go upstairs to my kitchen and get a pickle.

You are correct that your threads do not execute main and hence do not
destroy the mutex. But they could, if they were coded to do so
(intentionally or by accident).
