Well, one thing's for certain.

That hot water valve in the shower could not possibly be
the problem. No way. Nuh- Uh, sir.

It is just completely impossible.

Have you had that problem all along, or did it develop over time?

A restricted shower head DOES affect the temp, since the hot is usually
much less than the cold, the mix valve is pressure AND flow dependent.

A non-restricted head will need a different tap setting to get the same
temp than a restricted head does, IDIOT!

It really depends on the quality of the water you are provided with.
