Yes, pressure raises the boiling point.
But if we want it to be steam, isn't that a bad thing?
Don't we want a nice big safety margin between our active steam temperature and the temperature it condenses?

Not if we want the steam to be hotter.

Water is in one of three states: liquid, gas, solid. It has to be one of those. Where does the margin come from?
Is the pressure helping directly? Why not use a heater; is dangerous levels of pressure easier than an extra heating element?
It took some roundabouts but we got there. Thanks for the information.
