Not to mention the liability.  Plus, even commercially, there really isn't a
need for direct high voltage lines.   Even the highest voltage power
supplies (such as those used in giant lasers, linear accelerations, very
large radar systems, etc....) derive their power from 3-phase low voltage
transformers such a 440 or 480VAC.  Sure the kVA ratings might be up even in
the 1000's, but its still low voltage.
