Given how hot my Mac is when I do anything they’d need Pacific Ocean to cool that data center :)

My Apple Sillicon macbooks are the coolest running computers I've had in decades. Something might be wrong with your cooling system.
Most Macs (both Intel and Apple Silicon) refuse to thermal-throttle until they reach the junction temp.

Both you and the parent can be correct, here; many Macs are quite cool at idle, but also throttle much slower than equivalent Intel or AMD chips under load.
