I think you're right, and, I think that once the truck manufacturers started making ONE model that had a higher load rating than all the rest, and virtually non existent, the RV manufacturers started touting "1/2 ton towable" knowing that most folks don't know and won't ask.
As it is in anything, it is up to the potential buyer/tower to know the p's and q's of towing. Unfortunately, unlike the old days, they didn't start out with a hay, cotton or flatbed trailer and learn there are limits; they jump right in with that 37', 9000lb. trailer on that 1/2 ton to "learn" with.
