I think this article asks the wrong question. The correct question IMO is why is the frequency throttled instead of maxed out when a program is saturating the CPU?

If it is thermal throttling then it means cpu is maxed out for the given conditions.

I agree with that, but it seems like the use case specified is ordinary power conservation mode, not critical, thermally-induced power reduction mode.

And also, why are systems shipped with inadequate thermal control?
