Is temperature tolerance really that expensive?

No, DR without such limitations will be as non-ablative as armor which lacks such limitations.

Which is completely non-ablative to anything that's not Corrosive. So, until there's a new edition of Basic that redefines long-term heat/fire exposure to be in effect, Corrosive, unlimited DR - that's innate to your body, not the consequence of something you're wearing - will protect you from it indefinitely.

Same deal with swarms crawling through armor. If your DR is part of your bodily makeup, say you're an iron golem, there's nothing for the little buggers to crawl under, or at any rate no way for them to get through.

Bottom line, the Damage Resistance does what it says.
