Aside from modern barrel jack supplies, none of it is actually powers of two, it's like, 13.8v lead acid or a little higher for lithium.
I think we just stay close to the numbers we do, because we just really like multiples of 12 and numbers with lots of divisors. 24 hours in a day, 360 degrees, etc.
Most numbers people really like a lot seem to be on the 7-smooth numbers(https://oeis.org/A002473 https://oeis.org/A002473) list and related/overlapping sets like highly composite numbers.
Which I think is super cool, because it means you can choose one and there's a good chance someone else chose it too for something similar, unless they were using renard numbers or something instead.
