Multi-million dollar Cheyenne supercomputer auction ends with $480,085 bid — buyer walked away with 8,064 Intel Xeon Broadwell CPUs, 313TB DDR4-2400 ECC RAM, and some water leaks
Why does the PSU need to be plugged in when building a PC?

It doesn't. Whoever told you that needs to be smacked upside the head with a hummingbird feather. They are 100% wrong.
They may think that helps with grounding. The person is supposed to touch something metal before building or maintaining an existing PC. Having it plugged in will not protect the RAM modules from an ESD(electrostatic discharge). Wear a wool onesie and rub your feet across your carpeted floor all the way up to a door. Touch the door handle. Little shock? That's an ESD. RAM don't like those.
