I think Apple already did the testing of using thermal paste in their labs. Why anyone would do this besides for tests & putting $800 investments into jeopardy is beyond me.

Actually, one of the easiest best things to do to help thermals is reapplication of the thermal paste. Often times, especially during transit and handling, you may end up with a thermal connection that isn't 100% contacted anymore, and reapplication insures a full high quality contact.
And contrary to your claim of Apple testing a bunch of different thermal compounds, I would highly doubt they would ever consider putting something as high of quality as kryo or arctic.
Finally, it's not much of an $800 investment if the peice of crap constantly thermal throttles and is unusable to be used in a prolonged application use, so you might as well try and fix that crap cause you're leaving money on the table allowing it to perform under its rated specs. (Kinda like getting a super fast high end car, but putting a limiter on it that caps at 60mph)
