As others have said:
1. OCing is easy now.
2. Beyond the easy OC (see 1) there is not much need - games runs fine, everything else runs even better
3. When there is a need - you don't have the large gains.
I do think people routinely still buy less expensive parts and OC to perform faster. It is just that this is a couple bios clicks and covered by forums and sites all over the place (not unique knowledge here).
The easy bios change gets you 90% plus of the increases. The final 10% (if that) pales in comparison to the effect the drivers or game coding has.
Basically a case of diminishing returns, and general availability of knowledge.
