I don't think a Rpi 5 (or any computer) should just die in the absence of extended cooling. Normally the CPU clock speed should be throttled in the case of temperature rise above some threshold, don't you think?
Same thing with a PMIC - all of these from Texas Instruments and similar "industry standard" brands feature a shut-down if reaching too a high temperature. So I don't really think it makes sense to claim that an RPi 5 can be expected to die if not using the active cooler.
(And at least the second dead Pi for me died when power was on, not in off state, but thanks for the tip.)
And again, a very big USP with the RPi series of computer boards is that they can be used in embedded applications. If we are down to require not only the official power supply but also an active cooler module, then I think the Pi 5 is about to lose this USP, compared to the earlier versions.
