Because they have to bin GPUs for different product lines and by operating at a higher voltage they can fit more GPUs into a single product.

Because different chips have different voltage tolerances, people generally expect shit to work out of the box, and undervolting by default would leave some dogshit chips unstable.
Half the problem with the whole Intel 13/14th gen debacle was because motherboard vendors WERE undervolting by default through the VRM/load line calibration. The other half of course was Intel being way too aggressive with voltage requests and slowly degrading the CPU to the point it could no longer run with the undervolt, which is why one of the early "fixes" was to *increase* voltage.
