1-Even if something withstands an attack without breaking, there can still be remaining kinetic energy that can travel through the object into whatever or whoever is in cotact with, causing soft tissue damage.

2-Also, a bomb's shockwave doesn't need to break your skin to kill you.

3-If the protective effects of the Semblance don't resist heat, then your shield would be too hot to hold even if it withstoodtemperatures that would normally melt it. 1-Which would be blocked by the Semblance, which you would've noticed if you read how it also makes objects undamageable.

2-No, but the Semblance prevents the object from breaking. That's what it does, and that's all that matters. That something could kill you without needing to break you is irrelevant.

3-..........The Semblance makes objects unbreakable and undamageable. It never said it does anything regarding heat or electricity.

In other words, it would make the shield unbreakable, but would not prevent it from heating up. That it could potentially get too hot to hold is completely irrelevant, what matters is that it doesn't break or get damaged thanks to the Semblance.
