Useless anecdotes, but I have seen specific product lines with problematic thermals that was a result of incorrect application of thermal compound.
I've seen way too much thermal paste on Mac laptop boards.
Not just Apple; for a while I think 2007-2010, I was seeing a number of very inexpensive desktop computers with cooked thermal compound on AMD CPUs.
These observations aren't worth much, but it doesn't surprise me if a new Mac has thermal issues in the field. Although my M1 MacBook Air is the best, coolest-running machine I have ever had.
