Confirmation bias 101. Everyone remembers when their heavy favorite loses but not when they when as expected
What is "too often?" What is "overwhelmingly better?" No two playoffs teams are ever that far apart in baseball unless you have done some silly stuff with your league settings, and the playoffs are a crapshoot. Just look through past MLB postseasons and it is filled with #1 and #2 seeds losing.
Of course there is no "built-in" advantage for the higher seeded team outside the real stuff like having the pitching rotation set up better, playing at home, etc. And obviously there shouldn't be.
