Beginners Questions • Why do laptop temperatures spike 40C when I have Steam open?

When I start steam on a Desktop with Ryzen 7 3700 and Ubuntu, it create a total CPU load of 25% till it's loaded. After it's loaded the CPU load isn't measurable at least with my eyes only. The GPU power consumption does not increase.
So if you only start Steam but no games I would expect the high temperature should decrease after it's fully loaded (as far as I understood you CPU temperature increases from 60°C to 100°C, so that would be too much for an idling Steam).
