"It throws away voltage regulation, too"

I don't think his 'app' is going to care about
a percent or three 'sag' in output voltage ... he
isn't trying (nor does he need to) regulate
within .1% or anything close to it.

Design to spec and requirements - and no more.
To do so is to throw away both time and money ...
