Is your car designed to be used with the pedal to the floor at all times?
I don't understand why this would be a design assumption, especially for a portable device.
This isn't even an assumption for running applications on servers, especially the kind that serve up things like web requests. If you have pegged the CPU, your application will already be unstable.
Sure, the server can handle being pegged 24/7 from a power and cooling perspective, but in practical use no sysadmin will allow that to happen for very long.
