I think your right chad most people should be and are aware.
But over the "reefing months" when most people add to their aquariums, new pumps, bulbs, etc. and forget what the warm weather is like it comes as a surprise.
We are fortunate that it only happens a couple of times per year, but without the cost a chiller it certainly makes the hobby a little more affordable for most.
As for lights, in my home aquarium, no chiller I had the lights off for most of the day and just turned on for the few hours before bed for feeding.
