I would say the true problem is with the UTH companies not having good quality controls than owners not buying thermostats.
You would be surprised how many people run lighting instead of a pad. Why? Because that's what all the pre made kits come with.

How do you figure it would be a quality control problem when these are made?
There are many factors into what the maximum temperature an UTH can reach.
Air flow, room temperature and so on.
