Wouldn't that be true for everything then? 3,400C is pretty special circumstances in my book, yet we say tungsten melts.

I don't think adding heat is a special circumstance like adding pressure is. It's very easy to add heat to something. Adding pressure means building a sealed environment to enclose it's, and some specialized equipment to increase the pressure.

Adding heat requires that you burn something. That's it.
