When you hear "airplanes can't take off because it is too hot" they are really saying "Boeing 737s can't take off because it is too hot."
The 737 MAX debacle pointed out that the 737 was by far the most technically primitive aircraft still flying. Because of decisions made in the 1960s the 737 struggles to take off under even good conditions, it is the first one to fail because of "hot and high" conditions.
