On the other hand, it will be harder for those sites to attract new visitors, so while for a larger site losing PR isn't fatal, it ain't a good thing either.

And I don't understand the whole PR discussion. A couple of websites have been downgraded but it seems there this fact doesn't influence traffic at all! What is PR good for? It's in indication for the amounts of links pointing to a site, that's it. I bet that a couple of google friends could even make a PR10 site with just crap content on it. Everyone knows since months (maybe even years) that PR looses his importance. google owns us? thats a bit hard. And I don’t understand the whole PR discussion.

People who are too overly reliant on traffic from Google will someday fall foul of their whims. Thanks to the web2 revolution, engaging in the social web (ie the communities around your subject niche) is now more important than trying to please Google with a perfectly SEO'd website.
