At present the Parker is far too expensive. And not designed for consumer electronics.
Also, they still wouldn't passively cool it. They would actively cool it for the same reason they actively cool the Switch: they can maintain a higher constant clock speed without throttling. Technically, they could passively cool the X1 but they would either need to lower the clock speed or deal with throttling to control the heat. If they're going to spend the money on the Parker for a future revision, they're going to want to get everything they can out of it.
