Yes, the web was a great place back then (I really miss that 'flame' gif and 'under construction' banner)!
I think you make a valid point. Conversely, unless a company is selling through their website directly I believe it is largely a pointless asset; These days, a professional corporate website seems to be a term synonymous with "loads of flash, stock photography, thousands of words of marketing waffle".
