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.

Is there something wrong with wanting powersave activated as soon as possible?
If a user wants performance at bootup, he can choose the performance
governor as default.
If a user wants to maintain the startup speed at bootup, he can choose
the userspace governor as default.
If a user wants powersaving at bootup... Too bad, go write a startup script?
It's not a big issue; I wrote a startup script for it myself. I was
just left wondering why I had to write a startup script in the first
place.
