GP didn’t claim that’s not the reason. They’re making a joke that if the camera kept recording past 30min, it would overheat.

It's not a joke, older DSLR cameras would often overheat when recording continuously. My good old Canon 6D would overheat once in a while when used as a webcam with v4l2loopback.
Even as recently as the Canon R5 Mark I mirrorless camera (which you can still buy new), overheats within 15 minutes if you're recording 8K30 or 4K120.
It's a joke, but it's also the truth. Many cameras won't even get to 30 minutes before overheating.
Yeah I knew what you meant. I have one :)
IT's not a joke. When filming for more than 30 minutes the cameras at the time (10-15 years ago) would warm up and eventually shut off automatically to cool off.
Some cameras do overheat from extended recording sessions, so depending on the model it's not entirely a joke.
