I think overclocking is becoming dead at this point. If you don't qualify in having either LN2, Cascade or Subzero cooling, your stuck with marginal clock increases. And since GPU/CPU makers figure out ways to extract the best possible out of a peace of silicon, they taken quite the fun out of it.

At least on the GPU side, I would absolutely agree with you, most get less than 10% higher scores. But even modern CPUs can be overclocked a significant amount - for example, my 12600K with a 30 dollar CPU cooler easily overclocked to around 20% better XTU 2 scores, albeit with a little excessive noise. But even staying under 70C I got about 12% better scores, easily. Many others have gotten really good results like that, too, it's not just me. Ryzen with undervolt and overclock sees benefits too.
