> OK, it's a cart and horse affair as it is the resistance that causes the heat,
Most of the heat comes from semiconductor conduction, leakage, and switching. Superconductors don't fix that. Not to mention, a major factor in resistance is diffractive losses is the ohmic layer surrounding transistors. The ohmic layer is necessary because direct metal-semiconductor connections create blocking diodes. The width of those wires at the connection points is so small that electrons could barely squeeze through. That was the reason we switched to "high-K" dielectrics, which have higher classical resistance but lower electron scattering. Superconductors have similar problems with entry and exit into superconducting areas.
