Synth circuits use 78L05s all the time:  MOTM, CGS, etc.

What do you propose? Not all systems have 5 volts.

Why make users build messy harnesses or adapters when multiple power
connectors could be supported on the PCBs?  I disagree, 0.100" should be
supported as well as any other common power connectors.
