Nope.
If I had to guess its because the hot water would be great for dissolving all the crap in the crevices, but I'm not sure. All I know is that it works well. None of powpows guns have any signs of ever rusting. I do it with my shotguns still.
They also have no bluing left, but I like em like that.

I did it for years. It would break down and remove all the gunk that in there. Then again, this was before there were all kinds of fancy chemicals and sprays that would do the same thing.
BUT, like I said. It leaves a nasty arse residue in your pot so it better be a shitty pot.

Boiling helps remove gummed up grease or oils. Cold weather helps gum up some oils, and can make a gun useless.
I've heard it's not uncommon for our northern counterparts to boil the bolts for their rifles each year.
