You bring up a good point. Even when you re-jet for higher elevation, you still loose power. There is just less oxygen.
Also, at higher elevation, the boiling point of the fuel lowers, and an engine acts like it has less compression. That's the same reason that there is different instructions, on a cake mix, for higher elevation.
