Why is there a lack of Cyan in CMYK color palettes???

I see Zazzle has added their new "print-friendly" colors on the customer side. However, there is a HUGE gap between the blues and the teals! (There is also a lack of nice light warm ivory/ beige colors, too.) Since CYAN is one of the colors of CMYK, you'd think that at least THAT part of the color spectrum would be full! You can even see in these screenshots that there's a whole column missing. That's my favorite part of the color spectrum, and I really need that last column, please!

So, these print-friendly colors only show on the customer side? If that’s true, then why not show them on the designer’s side, too?
