I know what you mean about the PSU consuming power when the PC is off. However, I wouldn't blame the PSU manufacturer. It's the motherboard that is consuming the power, and keeping things like:
- USB ports active for charging stuff
- sensors to allow power on by keyboard/mouse/etc..

These are gimmicks that some people like to have. Until we change peoples mindset, this isn't going to change sadly
Can't the power supply throttle itself down until something requests power consumption? Why does it have to use 34 watts constantly, where does all that power go to?
