ELI5: Why do computers get so enragingly slow after just a few years?
Use a tool like smFanControl, Macs Fan Control, or Stats to manually set your fan speed to 100%. This is noisy and reduces the lifetime of the part, but it means you can force your device to cool down, even when the OS doesn't want to.

MacBook almost overheated.
There are fan controllers that will speed up your fans, good to use! Someone downthread it seems found a bad one that impacted his CPU utilization. I use smcFanControl and have never noticed any cpu utilization. Simple to use. Works on intel macs, maybe not M1/M2 arm macs. https://github.com/hholtmann/smcFanControl

Fan control app for MacBook M1
You can use either smcFanControl (Free/OpenSource) or MacsFanControl (Paid/Free, Closed Source). Probably there are other options as well, but I’ve used these with success in the past.

2020 Imac Annoying Fan Noise
It's good to know that it works, but I'm still puzzled as to why you need to run those commands with sudo. Do you have version 2.6 of smcFanControl.app? I've noticed there is also a beta version at https://github.com/hholtmann/smcFanControl/releases, so maybe you've installed that 2.6.1 instead? That would explain why we are seeing different results on exactly the same machine (I also have the i7 model).
Thanks for the update. I was getting the same error as you when using a different argument to -k, and after reading https://github.com/hholtmann/smcFanControl/issues/89 I found out that only F0Md works on Macs having the T2 chip (like our 2020 iMac). I never used (or thought of using) sudo when running the smc binary on the command line.
The error led me here https://github.com/hholtmann/smcFanControl/issues/36 which led me to try sudo in the first place.
