I really do understand what LDO means, and at least a decent amount of how they work.
I still don't think it makes sense; it's not as if you have the heat the device to be hot enough to draw the quiescent current, it's the other way around. As the internal temperature rises, the efficiency of the components degrade, things start to "leak" more current and the quiescent current draw goes up.
