Well put points, but electrical loads affect the whole car (motor, ESC, battery), whereas mechanicals only affect the motor. So I stand by my opinion that 1S puts higher loads on the car's power system. I'm currently making a finned aluminium pod floor for a GT10 car to get rid of more heat for this very reason - to allow bigger gearing in 1S without blowing up the motor. I never said 1S would be a cell-killer, or motor-killer. But it WILL load these components to a higher level.
