My 2021 is fully 48v except for an inverter for necessary 12v circuits (like cigarette outlets and the jumper pins) and a small motorcycle battery that is used for minimal 12v functionality. The mild hybrid battery is under the rear seats and spins the alternator to keep accessories running.
My guess is that handing this out is a very nice thing to do but perhaps irrelevant in a world where 400v and 800v drive systems are the state of the art. Those systems can’t rely on the car body as a common ground for all sources of current and have a lot of inherent safety concerns that force a lot of electrical engineering that my old Camaro didn’t need to have.
