It probably uses all cold water
The attendant likely would always switch all the washers to cold to save utility costs hopping many people will just he washer as set and save them money.

Alright,
I’ll ask them to use hot next time

That's a 1-speed top loader. Nothing "special" about that cycle other than it's cold water only.

I will be curious to see if they end up charging you more for the hot water wash.

The laundry I go to occasionally
To wash big rugs and the like, charges .25 to .50 more per load for hot washes. In reality their warm wash is maybe body temp, maybe a little cooler. Hot wash is more what I would call a warm.
Combined with a quick wash cycle, you can pay another .25 for a heavy wash. The results were minimal at best.

Went to laundromat yesterday only because had large coverlets that simply couldn't be done in any washers at home.
Started going off laundromats long before covid-19 hit, and now am even more squeamish, but what else could one do?
Am here to tell you our local has SQ front loaders, and no; you will never get a "hot" wash.
First cycle is a quick pre-wash in cold water. Then comes tap hot water which even if 140F (which I doubt) would be quickly cooled by both interior surfaces of washer and that laundry pre-washed in cold water.

There's a lot of heat loss without an onboard heater.
My AquaSmart ATC is 50°C/122°F for WARM input. Warm+ is 56°C/133°F and Hot is 62°C/144°F. Most cycles run the target temp only for the Eco Active fill (some also for the HE top-off), tap cold for deep fill top-off if selected or coded into the cycle.
*However*, a few deep fill cycles such as Sheets (which can also do Warm+ and Hot) and Bulky run the target temp for the entire fill.
I've been using Bulky-Blanket for bedding, which is hard-coded for Warm. The resultant temp is nicely warm, surely not 122°F.
