And then someone finds a practical solution to the arcing issue with HVDC (380V or so), making PoL PFC obsolete. HVDC just makes a lot more sense when most (residential scale) alternative energy sources are DC, as are most electronic devices. Large motors are served by PoL inverters, giving them the benefit of variable speed and efficiency optimization at the same time.
