This is supported by the message that states that 'the system has become hot. Please turn off the system and wait a while before turning it on again'.
The hacker believes that Sony could prevent YLOD by having the function to shut down the console when it gets too hot. Instead they supposedly opted against a more effective mechanism so they were able to profit from broken consoles.

A console hacker has claimed to have noticed an interested string in a .RCO file (system_plugin.rco). The string allegedly states "msg_error_console_hot_pls_restart".

The reason it is a message error is possibly because of:
1) It allows people to save data.
2) If it just shutdown/restarted people wouldn't know what the hell happened and just get mad for no reason, attempt to turn it back on immediately and die of a yellow light. It doesn't cause anything instead tries to prevent.
