Because the majority of the world is running a 240 Volt/50Hz system as opposed to 120V/60Hz in North America. For DC devices like laptops and cell phones this doesn't pose any problem. You just get a different plug for the adapter and away you go. For AC appliances like hair dryers, doing so is dangerous and can cause a fire.
