This has always felt like an anti-pattern to me. Especially with phishing still being a significant risk for the average person. The remote server controls the page title which means that it's inherently untrustworthy for determining where you are. The URL is controlled by the user/browser/agent which makes it the more trustworthy value. There's value in a page title, but it's not analogous to a URL and shouldn't mask it.
