Winning a Super Bowl in the modern era (especially since the Wild Card was implemented) is astronomically harder and much more impressive of a feat then winning an NFL Championship was in the 1960s was.
While I agree with you to some extent, I usually define a championship as being the best team in your league regardless of how many teams there are.
