Power Stones or Pwnage Stones?

I've got to say it: Power Stones bug me. I can't even figure out why they're in the GURPS books.

I've only ever seen them abused by players. I've seen them terribly abused, actually. I just can't fathom any reason that they're in the books.

They let players trade money for a major advantage, something that I've seen the books suggest is a bad idea elsewhere.

In my opinion, Power Stones (Pwnage Stones, anyone?) should be purchased with points using the rules for gadgets on p. B116-117.

So why do they exist? Does anyone know? If you do, please comment, I'd like to hear a good explanation.
