The main purpose is to be able to design items to use low voltage, which is how many things (e.g., most consumer electronics) have to work. The side benefit is that modern adapters can handle a wide input voltage range while providing a steady output voltage. But that's not the reason they exist - and if you look at older ones (e.g., perhaps from a 30 year old device) you will often find they can't handle a wide input range. | |
