You have a valid point to an extent,one thing you should consider when these companys build these cars they cut down on intake and exhaust noise,which reduces performance. I think is safe to say they squeeze as much power they can while still keeping the car quiet. Hell when I got my 05 stang the first mod was to pull the carbon trap out of the intake and that was good for 5-8whp alone. They stopped putting them in the cars in late 05,yet they didn't raise the HP rating of the car,and infact the car stock was really about 315hp but rated at 300. So I wouldn't say they are always worried about HP #'s to sell cars. Somtimes companys will under rate HP just to not take sales from another car. E.I. LS1 F-Body cars vs. corvettes,same motor diff HP #'s.
