The future framework uses 'sequential' processing by default, which means that future.apply also runs everything sequentially by default. This can be seen by:

> library(future.apply)
Loading required package: future
> plan()
sequential:
- args: function (..., envir = parent.frame())
- tweaked: FALSE
- call: NULL

To run in parallel, the user needs to declare that using the plan() function, e.g.

plan(multisession)

Does this answer your question?
