Because you've managed to win with a low-quality PSU doesn't mean you should encourage others to do the same. That doesn't make it a reliable unit. The PSU is essential and a poor choice to cut costs.

From a statistical standpoint, your experience with VS-series PSUs stands apart.
Most VS-series units fall well below the reliable threshold.
You've managed to avoid the issue. Well done.
You're at the extreme end of the distribution. Don't rely on that lasting.

Additionally, the VS are less efficient which results in increased electricity expenses. They are also quite costly due to power costs, and their failure rates are factored in.

I'm not claiming it's the absolute best PSU for the price I paid, but considering what I spent or how other countries handle pricing, it's fair. It really depends on your location. In Bosnia, prices don't fluctuate much—sometimes they're still asking a high price. For example, an RX 590 on Amazon costs about 220-250 in Bosnia, while in Bosnia itself it's around 300-350. The income there is quite low, about 200 euros per month, and most people struggle to afford basic things like food.

This is a bone of contention for me, too.
People really should be selecting PSUs based on their actual power demands, consulting the efficiency:load curves of the PSU they are considering, and selecting PSU output ratings to put actual load at the peak of the efficiency curve.
In most cases, that means that a 500W system will need a 1000W PSU. Not "cheap" but that PSU--if it's a
high quality
unit--will last freakin' forever. Definitely long enough to see 3 or 4 builds used on it.
That's when an expensive PSU becomes economical.
