Water pressure regulator not needed?

Simply do not understand why such a thing is a necessary item.
At least in my boat, my plumbing is all copper, even if it was plastic, it would be rated to handle city water pressures.

I was thinking may even remove my regulator someday.
A check valve to prevent backflow I can understand is worthwhile.

And the marinas all have had standard water pressures and used plastic pipe to deliver the water pressure to the slips.

Back in the day long ago, did some marinas have pressures of 200 psi or something??

I measured the PSI at the slipsupply faucet and it is 45psi.
