I could see that being an issue as well. I was just looking at it like I'd assume our protective suits could protect us from just about any environment on Earth (except from things like sulfuric acid pools or volcanic heat) so if this place wasn't even as hot as the hottest desert we have, that would be disappointing for/to me.

Agreed, the numbers aren't that high actually. Same goes for Voelds -50deg C. Heck even I experience -40-45 couple of times every year living in Northern FInland. Certainly don't need an enviro-suit to survive. Arctic gear yes and multiple layers, but nothing "actively" heated like a powered-armor. Propably true for deserts on Earth aswell, I'm thinking +50 occurs occasionally (Sahara, Australia, where ever).
Make it -70 and +70 and then we're an in truely hazardous range.

That is very disappointing to hear. I'm a numbers guy after all, lol. I'm sure it was just a small oversight on their part but still. That far in the future, Earth temps should be a non issue.
