It is a normal practice to bring marinades to a boil (to kill any microorganisms) and then reduce (to develop and intensify flavor) to make a sauce or glaze.

It's true that any toxins created by those microorganisms would still exist, but that also would be true with the meat you are cooking. Hence, the need to keep the food at food-safe temperatures during the marination process.
