They do add value when searching...
For example, searching for power-supply + failure is different than searching for power-supply.
The former makes it easy to learn why power supplies fail and how they can be fixed, the latter just yields a lot of questions about power supplies while they are not all about failures.
They do add value when you see the question in a list...
It allows you to identify that the question is talking about a failure, the title doesn't always give that away.
Burning the tag takes this value away.
Splitting the tag yields too many new tags.
Also, you get long tag strings like power-supply power-supply-failure.
