AMD shooting themselves in the foot

A lot of the reviews I'm reading seem to really pan (once again!) AMD's reference cooler provided by the RX 480, generally they seem content enough with performance but thermal throttling seems to be a constant issue that pretty much torpedos OCing on reference boards.
My question is this; WHY? Why, when AMD must have had numerous engineers doing QA/QC would they equip the cards that their flagship series was going to be judged on with garbage coolers that were loud, inefficient, and din't allow OC headroom? It makes no sense, at the least why don't they do a limited run of RX 480's with beefy all copper 3rd party coolers for evaluation?
