How is it that? It looks the main issue is a patchable OS bug that will be addressed in 17.1, or sooner.
It’s unlikely to be a hardware design flaw. It seems to be sporadic, and hit both the new enclosure materials and CPU, as well as the 15’s with the last generation CPU and old aluminum enclosure.

I’m well aware of the reference.
My point is that, unlike the iPhone 4, this likely isn’t a silicon or enclosure issue. If it was, it wouldn’t be hitting the old repurposed last gen stuff too. We’re also getting reports of apps in iOS 17 heating up older devices and iPads. It’s the new OS, SDKs, and certain apps that haven’t been updated for iOS 17.
Looks like it's an OS bug that is causing some processes to cycle over and over and over. Looks like it's just a bug fix and making sure 3rd parties have properly updated for iOS 17.
