    As far as heat goes, these devices already need heatsinks and case fans, so the difference seems negligible.

    Pi 4 and below don’t require active cooling. I want to keep it that way.

    Also, good luck using a Pi5

    Again, I offer no defense of Pi5. I don’t use it and don’t recommend it.

      I’m not sure why you’re referring to the Pi4 since it doesn’t require this entirely non-standard power supply and isn’t their current flagship model. Nobody is asking for old models to be retrofitted with voltage regulators so that they don’t have to use a power supply that they already don’t need to use.

      You say you don’t use or recommend the Pi5 and yet you’re seemingly arguing that its power supply requirements aren’t a big deal and that improvements should absolutely not be made to it.
