Yes ...that was a clever and (cheap) method of creating a relatively 
accurate time base but with modern technology there really is no reason to 
keep this method.  Of course existing designs that use the grid's 
frequency are going to have to live with it.  Similar to going from analog 
TV broadcasting to digital made many TV's useless unless converters were 
employed.  I suppose someone could capitalize on this situation by offering 
to convert the devices from line time bases to crystal, GPS or 
WWVB systems.
