I saw that also, but it was more an opinion not fact.
Technically the reg/rect may run a little hotter, but it is rated at 18A so well within its limits and you are still pulling 6 to 8 amps with the lights on when riding.
It allows a bit more in reserve for extra like spotlight and heated grips.
Extras can put a boxeye under pressure to charge the battery in city riding, but with LEDs it would be less of a problem.
My 600 and 1000 have covered over 4000 miles each since fitting them and I have never noticed the reg/rect running any hotter on either.
It is easy to check because of its location.
