Because...

(do you mean that Intel doesn't complain, that no one needs to provide
those parts, that everyone knows to use them, that all barebones kits
don't come with fans, that everyone knows to provide fans, or what?)

Not sure what you are asking, wish you were more clear here.
Intel only allows retail boxed cpus to be sold without an assembly and
a boxed cpu always comes with a fan.

Okay, but didn't the advertisement in question explicitly say that
there was no fan included?
Therefore, a reason for (whomever it was) to suggest Intel might
complain.

As far as the rest, I don't know if anyone gets letters from Intel for
this kind of thing, but I think most companies do react when their
products are sold outside requirements.

True, you can go to a computer show and risk buying a rack cpu to save
a few bucks.
I think it became a big issue when police found counterfeiters re-
inking Intel cpus and unscrupulous vendors selling them overclocked to
the new speed. Counterfeiters have als obeen caught selling fake
boxed cpus and I have seen these at a couple of whitebox computer
shows.
