Yeah but these electronics aren't meant to produce energy. Not sure if that's a great analogy, but imagine heating your house with coal and putting too much inside a furnace, which causes it to stop working.

If the furnace doesn't have good air intake, then yes, adding more fuel would make it stop burning faster. Improper installation is not a fault of the technology itself.

So you're saying it's rather a poor design/construction thing. Reminds me of how the runway at Heathrow has melted not that long ago 😅

You're acting all surprised, but it's not like this is something new. This is very basic electronics engineering stuff.
A car is also designed to run most efficiently at around 92 degrees C engine temperature. Fuel efficiency goes down if you deviate too much from that, and by a lot more than 25%. Surprised too?
The reason solar panels are optimized for the temperatures they are, is exactly because, guess what, that's the temperature range they function in most of the time.
