They explained the change to heat sinks lore wise as using heat sinks allowed a soldier to fire more rounds down range in a shorter amount of time compared to an advanded heat dissapation system. The trade off being you had to carry around heat sinks. Chances are they never implemented the ability to just wait for it to cool after running out of heat sinks was down to simplify gameplay. In the books and other media, there are several references to people doing this or using older weapons (M-7 Lancer).

So when you're out of sinks, you could simply not eject the last and wait for it to cool before continuing to fire. I understand it was a change dictated by gameplay, but still... it would have made more sense to include both, even if making the game slightly more complicated from a development standpoint.

Yes, a used heat sink would cool eventually, but would be incredibly slow compared to an older gun that had a built in dissipation system. They did eventually include the M-7 and the Prothean Particle Rifle that used the old mechanics.
