Sorry to hear that sucks. For me I haven't had any heat issues and I use my phone heavily for gaming/YouTube/Netflix/music/podcasts etc. I only notice it get pretty hot the first day when I was installing all my apps. Might be worth trying to get a replacement?
It gets warm, but not hot similar to my pixel 4/5.
Seems like your experience is an outlier from everyone else's - you most likely have a defective unit, and may want to contact Google.
Also, every chip can be 'last place' or 'first place' depending on what specifically you are ranking. Personally I recommend ranking a phone by the net experience it offers in sum, not on how individual components perform in isolation on benchmarks (as that isn't how people normally use the phone), and imo Google isn't lacking in real-world power at all.
I had expected good performance, and am delighted about by how far that expectation was exceeded, which is incredibly encouraging for what 2022, 2023, etc could bring when their very first efforts are this strong.
Again, sorry for the issue you're having, but sounds like it's a issue specific to your device - or perhaps a software issue with an app.... Have you tried using it in safe mode, or from factory reset before installing apps that might be causing thermal issues due to not having been updated and optimized for Android 12?

Google never intended the tensor chip to be the most powerful or best chip in the market.
With that said, I have zero heating issues and I drive around with my phone plugged in and in direct sunlight while connect to Android auto in my car.
Have you tried any troubleshooting or just throwing out in the towel.
6Pro... Running very well. Phone seems to be 'settling' in. Display, excellent. Reception strong. Running LTE rather than 5G at the moment, strong speeds. Charging time, tolerable, says rapid, but slower than my Sammy's fast charging even with Anker 30w Nano II. Not getting hot or even warm to the touch. Getting used to the Pixel settings, some things are a little 'hidden' as not used to this Google design. Returned my trade in Sammy to VZ... my first Pixel, appears to be a winner.

The first setup of my phone it did this..... I was copying from my old phone, there were errors during the copy and everything, and it was hot as all get out. But, I received the patch, factory reset, went through the copy process again. Everything runs fantastic now

Why I only copied critical things like SMS/MMS. All my pictures are already in Google photos. Files are in Google drive as well, the power of cloud makes it so much easier these days.

I haven't had any "over" heating issues on my Pixel 6 Pro either. Sometimes it gets just a little noticeably warm at times. Nothing I would classify as hot by any means.
my first day of having it (currently on day 3), my pixel 6 pro had battery drain, overheated to the point that it restarted itself; since then the phone hasn't overheated or restarted by itself, just has gotten warm from regular use (Facebook, YouTube, Spotify, or WhatsApp); and the battery life has gotten much better; with that being said, I think I may return it to; it just doesn't feel like a polished 1000$ phone; my iPhone 12 pro max still beats it in terms of battery life, running cool, and no app crashes (which have happened on the pixel 6 pro) and last but not least, face ID is so much better than the fingerprint scanner, at least for me, it's really effortless
