Comment on USB-PD is a de-facto low-power DC voltage standard, with USB-C being the universal plug. Hurray!

No, it's got nothing to do with power over ethernet.

It's simply having only one high power rectifier at the breaker box.

And removing all those rectifiers from every device in the house.

We don't need AC in the home anymore. Every device is now using DC, and any other device will still work with DC.
The only thing really left are motors, but even those are going brushless and we can chop half of the inverter out of the equation of those as well.

And every device won't even need smart electronics for PD either.
