Because it doesn't matter much: 
- performance is available during boot so that CPUs starting up at less than
  100% can be boosted to full performance very soon.
- userspace is available to keep the CPU speed at what it was at boot, and
  to allow existing userspace-based setups to work [it offers an equivalent
  interface compared to the one of the old 2.4. cpufreq interface]

All other settings [including min/max ranges, governor for "continuing" use] can
and should be done by either a startup script and/or a userspace daemon.
