If Intel wanted to use power/thermal limits for market segmentation they'd be locked down like the turbo frequency tables on non-K CPUs.
Can't that be hacked too?
I'm not aware of any modern CPUs getting hacked to unlock the multiplier. All you can do is BCLK overclocking
What exactly is preventing it?

But on Windows there's not such a problem, why segment then on Linux and not on Windows?
Trusting Intel to provide accurate info on the actual performances of a chip feels too naive at this point.
