Sounds like the right long term thing to do is have thermal sensors in the SSD then PC builders can just add 3rd party coolers to their NVMe and get aggressive as they want with cooling.

They already do have sensors for that.

Good luck trying to fit that in a PS5. The temp of these high performance drives must be the root cause of the delay in Sony supporting these, surely?
