Imagine running this card at full speed, with fully unlocked potential. What would happen to new tiny power connectors? I am betting insta-fire.

It would just throttle like it already does.

Throttle means that performance gain would not be there. Unthrottled power is needed for (hypothetical) unthrottled GPU chip. Unthrottled power is impossible on current power design, unless melted connectors are not a concern.
