I mean yeah, decompression is resource intensive, but it's still retarded to say that the goal of it is to overstress your computer, especially considering that any reasonable setup will throttle itself before just burning up
I totally agree it is quiet dumb. The only thing that wants to stress/overheat your computer are stress tests and that's their job. And yeah 99,99% of hardware will thermal throttle either way so there's no way to really do permanent harm to It
