OK, I can't really argue with that, beyond saying such calculations are useful for showing exactly what you just said: wet cells operate at too low a temperature.
I do not know any reason why a wet cell could not be pressurized to operate at 200 or 300°C. This would be ideal for producing electricity. Many fission reactors use pressurized water. On the other hand gas loading does seem more promising for various other reasons.
