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

  Yeah, but they would be simpler but you would instead have to put powerful DC-DC converters in pretty much everything.

  It sounds like a solution to a problem which isn’t a big deal. In theory it might be nice but it works fine as it is. We know very well how home AC grids work and charging that would be a mess.

    powerful DC-DC

    No, are you not aware how these work?

    A step down DC-DC is nothing compared to a transformer rectifier or PD electronics with communication with a USB-C.

      Maybe, DC wiring at home will never happen though (except in the form of POE).
