And you’re forgetting that water needs huge amounts of heat to evaporate. The heat capacity of plastic is rather small in comparison, so a machine capable of quickly vaporizing water also has the power to melt crappy thin plastic.
Modern dryers usually have a safety thermostat, but lint buildup is still a big fire hazard, so there are obviously temperatures in significant excess of boiling here.

Why isn’t it intuitive that a device designed to evaporate water quickly gets hotter than the boiling point of water

But when it doesn’t it takes a long ass time to dry, else we’d just line fry instead

Wait, I understand cleaning your shower curtains but why would you even bother to dry them?
