And even if it is permanent, AC wiring can heat up and mess with solder, so crimping or lever nuts are preferred.

    By the time your wire reaches 200⁰ needed for your solder to melt, your insulation would already be burning. That's not a plausible scenario, or you need to deliberately make a bad solder joint, cutting half the strands in the wire so it overheats in that particular place.
