Throttling should show up as a pseudo-process, "consuming" peak performance.

This is how MacOS presents thermal throttling in the Activity Monitor - there's a visible "kernel_task" process taking up CPU.

The downside is of course, that users see this process name chewing up 500%+ of CPU, google "kernel_task cpu", and find the commands to disable the thermal throttling to "fix" the issue!
