They are- at least the c6- I actually just had it arrive on my doorstep this morning.
I get more is better, but even the c3 and c6, are really incredible overkill for most applications. Maybe another way to put it is that there is tremendous utility in just having a cheap low power chip that can read sensors, do some super basic processing on them (converting a voltage to a temperature or humidity reading, etc) and then send them back to the mothership, wherever that may live (could be the cloud) to store it and take action.
I might be missing the forest for the trees here but multicore chips with cores that push into the hundreds of megahertz, I actually don't know what the use case is. Driving touchscreen UIs?

Or might be that the cost delta between the hypothetical low perf iot chip and a higher perf iot chip would actually be so low as to make the former not worth producing. Pure speculation though.
