You are not correct. Those effects are considered in PDN analysis and there is work published on that. Search for terms like "Dissipative Edge Termination". There is paper from Novak on that topic if I remember. The reason why you do not see this topic discussed in most designs is probably because their impact is very small compared with trying to keep the PDN impedance bellow the target but there are some niche applications where they have an impact.

Why in PDN all effort is to reduce PDN impedance and no one talks about above mentioned transmission line effects ??
