But it's not just an advert, they didn't make the new PSU for fun (well they my have had fun, someone might, who knows).
There are now other 5V5A Pi5 ready PSUs, there wasn't at release, so it means you can by other manufacturers. There's is designed to just work*.
Or bring your own 5V5A and make you own and run it through the GPIO or similar, maybe a PoE or other solution. They gave a way to make them work easier without it asking all the time at bootm
(note: some didn't just work at launch, not seen any reports about that again though, you had to turn them off and on again, no idea why)
As for crashing? Other Pi models reduce/limit speed, I know the Pi3 crawls in that mode, but that's on a voltage drop. If the current ramps up the voltage may just drop too far too quickly or the PSU shuts down too.
Other may be able to tell you what really happens.
