This is my (imperfect?) understanding.
The notes we hear are a mix of different frequencies. We assign the pitch of the note to the fundamental, whether it is the strongest frequency or not. Unlike the flute and sax and oboe, the fundamental is the strongest frequency for the clarinet. A leaky sax can still play in the upper register or octave (the strongest harmonic), but have trouble in the lowest octave. Clarinets are the opposite. This is also why clarinets can play so softly in the lower register.
Basically, clarinets like to play the low register.
