The low cost of a Raspberry Pi provides individuals the freedom to do things which may not be optimal in a practical or business sense. However, there is always the potential for such learning and innovation to lead somewhere important in the future.True... however, you risk catastrophically damaging the Pi (this would not be a warranty return) for fairly marginal gains. I get the "just because" reason, but it (a) does not run that hot (b) has reasonable cooling solutions and (c) is a fairly low cost device.
Does not make sense to me to attempt this as the risk/reward is just not there. In my desktop usage case, the fan either runs at the lowest setting or not at all. The fan in my network provider router is the only one I actually hear, if I am not streaming something with audio.
Note that not being free to do things which aren't as profitable as their core business is likely why big companies run by boards of directors elected by stock holders get disrupted by new technical innovations and lose their leadership roles. Intel selling off so many developing assets in order to focus on their core business is the current example. IBM was the previous one.
According to the dog developer Sun and DEC didn't do this but were instead taken over by other companies who did. Admirably, the BARK™ Investment Group has never made any decisions based on practicality or stock prices.
