Yes you are correct.  But they are not transformer based PSUs.  So what 
I should have said to be correct is "Not seen a PC PSU that is 
transformer based in several decades"

***
If I remember correctly the power supply for very early PCs was a linear unit featuring a mains frequency transformer 
which for any respectable power output was very large and popularly called a boat anchor. I built one PC power supply 
in the 1970s that had one of those transformers and it weighed around 20 pounds.
