"They cost no more than a couple of dollars in one-off quantities (much less in bulk). Obviously the makers didn't think of this."

The software thermal cut off probably cost 10s of $ at most for a one off and then can be replicated for free in every model ever produced. I suspect the makers very much did think about this.
