Allowing multiple threads direct access to UI state causes a lot of pain (every data structure needs to be synchronized, lots of opportunities for races and funky timing issues). You really want the UI to be single-threaded. "Greatly discourages sharing" seems like a bit of an over-statement. The Java programming language provides well-defined methods of sharing data between threads, and the Java memory model rigorously defines what is and isn't expected to work.
