It should be obvious by now that outside of California CSAs are not the true measure of a metro area. Remove the word "statistical" and you have "consolidated area" and metropolitan area". I think that should tell us what the Office of Management and Budget's intentions are. I would imagine that outside of internet nerdery these numbers are mostly used for regional planning, transportation and the like, and are aimed at being useful for that.
