Unless it’s some weak-ass plastic, “not dishwasher safe” usually means that certain parts of the item may experience cosmetic damage, and the company got tired of fielding complaints about that.
Lots of plastics can’t take the high heat. They melt or warp.
Some things that would otherwise handle the heat have glue holding bits together that can’t, like silicone grips on tongs.
Hence the qualifier “weak-ass”.
