Factory engineers also have different requirements than we do though. For example, emissions, which is something most people don't have to worry about here with a motorcycle. The newgen 250's exhaust is undeniably limiting power, and they are undeniably set rich from the factory. I'm sure the engineers had their reasons for doing so, but the end user can easily put a new exhaust on, tune the carbs, and get some not-insignificant extra HP out of it, while also improving the general operation of the engine. I see no downside, unless you have to pass emissions.
