Is this a "hardware have gotten fast enough" situation?

My latest laptop (Ryzen 7) takes a lot of beating before putting the fans at an audible speed. I've never seen this happen in laptops before either. (But well, my last one didn't slow down either, it just started making some noise.)

My Core i9 laptop has fans on just about as soon as it boots.
