Probably a daft question

I was just wondering. This is probably a really daft question but anyways:

Why doesn't INTEL and AMD sell their CPU's already overclocked?

For example ,if most i3s and i5s reach 4GHZ, why does Intel sell them at 2.66ghz ? Is it because of temperature issues? People not wanting to pay more for an after market cooler?

Same goes for AMD, if the 955 easily reaches 3.8GHZ, why is it sold at 3.2ghz?

The same for graphic cards, if most graphic cards are easily overclocked an extra 100-200mhz, then why dont companies just do that in the first place? :D
 
thanks guys, I knew it was a daft question. How did I not think of the thousands of office PCs worldwide that surely don't need 4ghz and a gtx 480
