Oh but you are. It’s at 0.8v to 1.2v range so it’s high current.

This is what all the VRM design is for. The motherboards are generally 20-30 layers nowadays with 2oz copper in the power layers. The traces are short and you do get hundreds of amps.

And yes, I’ve designed them on the silicon side.
