yes, by all means, add additional components, complexity and digital logic to detect the overheating of an underspecced component, that sound much more reasonable than using a connector that can carry the required current without heating up.

Let's add some IOT wifi-connected temperature sensors with RGB LED

That will sell. What a wonderful idea!

In fact let's forget the temperature thing and just do the RGB leds.

Who needs LEDs when you can dual-purpose the power connectors and just run enough current to make them glow?

Shouldn't we be able to get all colors except pink ?
