Main triangle tubing, or stay tubing? What's important?

I've seen many bikes with tubing decals such as "Reynolds 531 (main triangle!)"

Lesser quality tubing was used on the stays and fork of such bikes, AFAIK.

Would it have made more sense to do it the other way, and use the better tubing on the stays, where power transfer is important?

Or am I talking out of my bum with no idea of real world physics?

Let me know.
