I think the reason for that is to avoid the much more expensive regulatory approval that would be required if the new PSU were directly mains AC powered. This would be prohibitively expensive in a market as small as ours - so instead it incorporates an off-the-shelf mains AC brick.
Edit: I do like the fact that the DC part is in what's basically a C64 cartridge shell!
