It's significantly more difficult to get a working DC-DC setup up and running that's actually reliable and safe. The power supplies on these devices expect 220V AC so it's easier to just feed that in, and rely on the onboard power supplies to handle the complexities of creating a DC source that is within tolerance for the actual device.
