Theres your reason there, make things simple
Single phase 220 -240 volt for home everything, from toasters to dryers to coffee machine to tv's to power tools .etc
3 phase for industrial stuff

There are a couple of industrial sites with 110 volts steel mills, smelters
But this is to stop people stealing the drills saws and other power tools off the site
