My understanding is that 50V is the established threshold above which safety to humans starts to be a factor. So, applications that want high powers, without the penalty of large wires nor the penalty of the safety requirements of an HV system, converge to 48.

Lower voltages will only shock humans if they have a way to bypass some of the skin, like wounds or tight-fitting metal jewelry. Otherwise, the resistance of skin is high enough to prevent the flow of electricity. That's why you can touch both terminals of a 12V car battery at the same time and almost certainly not be shocked.
