I'm curious as to why no vendor has yet tried to push a 24V or 48V PSU rail standard to reduce the amperage pushed over these crappy pins. Of course then the board itself needs to be able to handle the higher voltage for down-conversion, but don't these systems usually use switching / Buck regulators as the first stage anyway, which could easily be tuned to handle the higher input voltage with minimal loss added?
