Indeed. Overclocking in 2023 is different than it was 20 years ago. You probably weren't overclocking back then without some inkling of the risks/dangers of eg. increasing the voltage to your CPU. And because you knew the risks you were probably stepping up very, very slowly and stress testing at each increment. Now you can kinda just grunt "me want faster computer" and push a button and it works. Unless it goes horribly wrong and catches your CPU on fire. Chipmakers meanwhile can have their marketing cake by selling chips with certain properties, but pushing software that makes them "better than advertised" which seems like a great value. And then eat the legal cake by avoiding liability when chips fail because "running this hardware outside of the default specs is not supported."
