I am just honestly confused. There seem to be no logical reason for it, except that it would raise the stock value of rocket producers like SpaceX and Blue Origin.

Yea. Heat pump it upto 500k? 6.4 kW/m² (double-sided) for 120 kW total output? 20 sq meters. That’s nothing.
I suppose one could, They’re going with 160 m² radiators (double sided of course) so they won’t need heat pumps, though, I guess they found that to be a better tradeoff of mass and complexity.
160 m² makes sense at 80C… That’s right on the money.
