I find the $ per page concept to be largely bogus

For an original content site I think it is very important. Not the "$10" average, which I agree in itself is bogus, but estimating what ROI you are going to get from potential new pages. This will determine how much time or cost to invest.

Eg: if I write a new content page (not a blog) I'll likely spend most of a day on it, crafting the wording etc.. For a $10/annum return that would simply be uneconomic.

For those employing people to write, or paying authors for original articles, the projected income per page is surely an important part of the decision-making/negotiation process.
