Sorry to ruin your circle jerk - The company further told Forbes that the fix, which should come with iOS 17.1, won’t result in throttled performance, which some, like Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, have said was a possibility.

They say it is an OS bug and some app problems that are causing the overheating. If true that might help the performance if anything.

less power = less performance

That's the general tradeoff but not how it always works.

A car generally trades power for fuel consumption but things like tires being properly inflated can help with both. In the same way, sometimes inefficient software leads to both reduced performance and higher power consumption, because too much power is being directed towards unproductive use.
