The pressure would be less of an issue, there is plenty of life on Earth that thrives at huge pressures.

I think their point was that the pressure "balances out" the temperature - so that enough of these chemistry does remain stable even though the temperature is high. For example - the water remains liquid because of the pressure, so that's one requirement for life that gets fulfilled.
