I'm happy to show you quite a few servers which run almost at their TDP for 7/24/365.

Yes, it's not very applicable to home scenarios but spike loads create a lot of noise at home when a CPU has high TDP.

Surely it's clear we're talking about home and small business servers?

For sure but what about home servers which do transcoding for example?

They will run at their TDP for some time and, create considerable noise and heat.
