Oh god. There's electricians out there that don't even know what 3-phase is. It's scary.
That and all the DIY guys building rotophases to power their cheap 3-phase equipment they got on auction, only to realize their 120/240 in their garage won't cut it.
Or in short (oh bad pun), DC power supplies are COTS and electricians know exactly what to do with them.
It is inevitable if you had parallel wiring they'd mess it up. Wanna be home electricians are made fun of all the time for screwing up 3 simple obvious wires line neutral and ground, giving them +5 would just result in fireworks. Admittedly most of the electricians making fun of the home wiring guys are the same pros who blow up 3-phase machinery by swapping a phase on an occasional basis too...
