This is point of view dependent.  You can say QAM is built your way or you can
say that QAM represents the resultant waveform of multiple simultaneous
frequency synthesis.  After all, any arbitrary waveform can be constructed from
the proper combination of various sinewaves.

My point is that high baud rates can be seen as a form of parallelism.
