I'd venture 95% of people run stock, 4% do undervolting and 1% do overclocking.
Which isn't that strange because GPU vendors have become relatively adept at pushing the silicon near its max. Its why you can run an aggressive undervolt with a few percentage point lower clocks and be rewarded with a 20-30% wattage drop with commensurate drop temperatures and fan noise, all whilst losing perhaps <5% performance.
But the GPU vendors want to put big number on box so they'll have users suffer loud fans :-)

As others are pointing out, there's an ongoing issue where it seems some products push it beyond the point of stability by default. I think I'm more pointing out the trend that even "informed" purchasers just look at the benchmark charts. There's no other information required. Perhaps things like the mentioned instability making the news will change things going forward? But not holding my breath. If there's still advantages to pushing it beyond the limit, then manufacturers will do so.
