I've never heard of this. How do you know it's windows "gaslighting" users, and not something dumb like thermal throttling or page faults?

It's gaslighting because it consists on people from Microsoft explicitly saying that it is impossible, it's not how Windows behave, and the user's system is idle instead of overloaded.
Gaslighting customers was the standard Microsoft's reaction to bugs until at least 2007, when I last oversaw somebody interacting with them.
Well this is one possible scenario. Power management....
