Default new clutch break in = new car break in ???

I kno you have to break in a new Exedy organic clutch for at least 500 miles of city driving. No burn outs, no slipping of the clutch, no shifting above 3-4k rpm, just taking it easy.

My question is, new cars come with new clutches too right? So wouldn't you baby a new car just like how someone would baby a new clutch? or vice versa? It seems as tho people are more lenient on the break in when it comes to a new car. However, do they not realize or just forget that the clutch is new to? Or are the clutches on new cars somehow "broken in" already?

Stupid question....i know...but it's been bothering me.
