Why doesn't `concurrently` use the shell it's being executed in?

Description

I'm trying to use concurrently to execute some bash functions in my shell that work fine when executed alone. However, they fail when being run with concurrently. After adding echo $0 to the functions, I realized that they're failing because concurrently is executing them with /bin/sh instead of bash.
