That will spread the heat to the battery and degrade it much faster.
This removes heat from the internal compartments (which logic board heat sink and battery co-habitate [0]) by transferring it outside via heat conduction through the case. There is no detectible heat increase (to touch) — consider the heat masses relative sizes (processor v. entire metal case).
Same for me on mobile. I don’t install the Amazon app I just use the browser where I can limit tracking and only log in when actually buying something.
