Because, honestly, this is a lot lower than the figure my intuition was telling me.
That 1m^2 is probably more complex than your intuition is telling you. Firstly it's an ideal figure assuming the entire radiator is the same temperature, that already creates additional requirements for moving heat from A to B, you can't simply slap a heatsink on a CPU. Secondly that radiator needs to radiate away, which means it can't be folded facing itself. 1m^2 wouldn't be much for a heatsink that works predominantly convectively, but it is already non trivial to design for a purely radiative cooling scenario.
