Perhaps insulating the new keyboard with a thin layer of rubber wasn't such a good idea after all.

In case you haven't seen the pictures: https://betanews.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/macbook-pro-...

It's mostly a big hole with some silicone on the sides. That's not to say that it doesn't affect cooling at all; saying the keyboard is insulated is probably exaggeration though.

Meant to be a joke, mostly, but still, I would expect most of the heat escapes out the sides, not through the key. The sides are what are covered.
