Not too surprised. My background's electronics engineering and
servicing. Any solid state component that runs too hot to keep your
fingers on is really stressing its tolerance. Not just itself, but
also its soldering to the board. And anything else its close enough to
heat up.
Even warm to the touch is going to mean shortened life for things like
capacitors.
