Or is it just a really bad title?
Agreed. This is one of the biggest mistakes people make when buying computers. Everyone I build systems for gawk at the price of the power supply, but I keep telling them (tongue-in-cheek of course) that a $30 power supply may have a great price tag, it also has great features like keeping you on the cutting edge of hardware because you are constantly forced to upgrade due to failed components.
I then tell them (more seriously this time) that no one should ever spend less than $70 on a power supply, because most of the one's (I know there are a few exceptions) priced below that have crappy components that will fry their more expensive hardware.
A site like this doing some much needed myth-busting would be wonderful.
