I do not see that so tragically :-)

many distros have some default like "[user host dir]$" or "user dir $" when using shell, but it changes to something more interesting when running programs, for example like "emerge: (1 of N) ..." and having this in title helps to quickly realise the status (in this example it is especially useful because there is no other easy way to determine the emerge progress)

hm, I did not realise that it is connected ... however since the default prompt is usually set as above, it is nearly equal to having "host : path" - personally I would prefer "user : title" or "user host : title" for remote, which would bring in some duplicity if the hostname and username are parts of the prompt, but it would change when running some command, and the command (or what it writes to the title) is IMO more important than the path
