why do 3d printer nerds run a separate 5v cable to their toolhead when they could just use resistors to step down their 24v cable, are they stupid?

@snacks one could step down 24v to 4v (thus within acceptable range for most 3.3-5v devices) with a 10kΩ from the 24v line and a 2kΩ resistor to ground its trivial
