How come so many processes exist with the same name for basically every application on my system? Spotify, Firefox and other apps all do this and sometimes opening a few additional tabs means that my 16-core computer's fan starts revving like a plane taking off. Do i have something misconfigured or are these normal?

What you are looking at are multiple tasks of the same process. This is expected behavior as they can be processed in parallel.
