I don't think it's heat per se that causes problems so much as the
constant hot-cool cycles which cause components to expand and
contract.  After enough expand-contract cycles, anything will show
signs of breakdown and disintegration.

(As an aside, I think you'll find that much of physics and life
depends not on absolute quantities, but on changes of state--classical
conditioning, for example, comes about because of a change of state
associated with something in the environment.  And so it goes.)
