Also, I doubt Cell has a limitless supply of Zenkais just waiting to be used. The overall efficacy of the once sought out process of damage and repair was pretty darn trivial after the introduction of Super Saiyans. There's no reason for Cell be an exception to this.
Because Freeza's incompetent and unaware of Cell's ability to regenerate, and never comes to the conclusion that he has the ability until it's too late.
Uh, but Cell is the exception, it's outright stated he received a zenkai that made up the power difference between he and Gohan. Zenkais were useless to the Saiyans by the Cell arc, but Cell, whose base battle power easily trumps the Saiyans' received one that gave him a massive increase. This leads me to the conclusion, like his regeneration, his zenkais are better.
I should also note that Cell isn't invited to the afterparty because Vegetto harbors negative feelings towards him.
Yes, Frieza does have a track record of making emotionally influenced decisions that ended up costing him, but there would be no room for error here, as any ki blast would probably incinerate every last one of Cell's cells.
Furthermore, Frieza had enough sense to promptly eliminate Dende, so it's pretty unlikely he would just sit around and fall victim to Cell's scheming tactics.
Just because the biological android saw an increase in power after recovering from his own explosion, doesn't automatically mean he'll always come back as a new and improved version of himself after every injury. How do we know he'll have that kind of luxury on an ongoing basis? Regardless, the amount of times he would need to go through that whole cycle to come even remotely close to Frieza-tier would be mind-boggling. By the second or third round of recovery, the tyrant would get bored and go straight for the kill.

Roshi bothering to ask if they had a chance against him suggests he wasn't literally hundreds of times stronger than their strongest teammate, and that's really all we have for him other than him being way stronger than SS Gohan. Absolutely nothing suggests he's King Shit. Also, none of his first three forms should be above Majin Buu, as Freeza went to his final form immediately when confronting Goku, and all he knew about Goku was that Goku could defeat Majin Buu.
His 2nd form defeats Cell easily, but gets taken down by Fat Buu's suppressed power level against Vegeta, after a hard fight.
His 3rd form easily defeats the suppressed Fat Buu, but is then splattered when Fat Buu powers up. Goku need not be involved.
His 4th form smashes his way through Fat Buu and SS3 Goku, but meets a serious challenge at SS3 Gotenks, and is then smashed himself by Ultimate Gohan.
His hypothetical 100% bulky form would defeat Gohan before being defeated by Buutenks, after a tough fight.
How could Final Form Frieza possibly be weaker than Ultimate Gohan? If Gohan was that powerful during his Super Buu-crushing days, don't you think he would have taken the time to kick himself for neglecting his training?
Also, Piccolo immediately told Roshi that they were leagues apart. The old master probably asked that question because he wasn't sure if Gohan or Piccolo still had some latent power they had not yet shown.
