When the oil is still cold it is thicker and doesn’t flow as well so the pressure is higher which puts more strain on the pump, etc. Take note of the oil pressure gauge when when the engine is still cold versus operating temp. You should see a lower pressure as the oil heats up and flows better.
Regardless, there is no excuse for failed oil pumps. Poor design, faulty part, disheartening.
