Yeah heat and battery life are non issues.

The iPhone is a good example because supposedly it's the fastest, but it doesn't feel like it. Maybe it's the animations, maybe it's the annoying Apple popups to sign in and update. Whatever the case, it doesn't make for a great device. (My experience is from 2018)

So, I take it you can see why the ability to use Apple's fast processors with a non-Apple OS might be appealing!

Hmm. I have considered that as well in the past.

Although I'd be a bit skeptical that Apple would allow this (as others talk about).

It seems extremely high risk, high cost, for an unnoticeable reward that will be obsolete in a year.
