We can have 240V 3 phase, but that's not common in homes, and the standard J1772 plug doesn't support more than a single phase.
I mean, yeah, cost cutting manuever, but it's a sensible one. The rectifier for high power is expensive and hot. Better to move it to somewhere fixed that is potentially higher use, and easier to cool. I wouldn't be terribly surprised to find 80A EVSEs becoming more common for home use, but those will likely be either weird dual cord things, or large vehicles, or have something else special going on (like the F-150 Lightning's V2H charger), or more than one of the above. But I suspect there's a reason why Tesla stopped selling the 80A wallboxes.
