Yeah. Basically, the biggest reasons for AC have to do with voltage stepping up and down, and for instant grid load knowledge. Well, and of course, existing infrastructure.
Both have solutions, but aren’t as cheap as they are for AC. But, aside from that, DC has a lot of benefits, particularly in end usage efficiency and transmission over distance.
Back in the day, the capability to easily bump up or down the voltage of electricity just wasn’t there for DC, so AC was the distance winner (high voltage is needed for distance, low voltage typically needed for usage).
240 in the neighborhood - i.e., that’s enough to distribute from the pole to a few houses. Of course you have higher voltages to go longer distances. This is equally true for AC vs DC. Thus, the idea that it takes a looot of copper for DC is erroneous.
In fact, where conductor size is relevant is that you can use smaller conductors for DC, because of the skin effect.
Wiring: Split phase, that is also usable as 240 for large appliances. So, the latter.
