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

_ It wants 3.3V, or 5V, or 12V, or 48V, or 18.7V,

Exactly

That's why if you had a 110VDC supply at the wall, you do a simple PWM step-down to the required voltage in every device.

LOADS cheaper/efficient than any USB-C PD circuit...

Saves on transformers, saves on dozens of USB PD wall outlets, saves on communication needed to communicate the PD required between each device and every USB PD wall outlet.

Much cheaper. More efficient.

If only the wall was 100VDC instead of AC
