Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.
One good reason to run a motor on 220 rather than 110 is the length of the run. Since the motor will pull 1/2 the current, you can run a given size wire further. In my very first little stand-alone shop (45 years ago) my radial arm saw was slow to start and lacked full power on 110. Without changing the underground wire, I switched the motor wiring to run on 220. MUCH better performance!
Another example is a pump my BIL had at a spring far from the house. The wiring was undersized for the load at that distance. He burned up three motors untill he switched to a 220v motor, using the same wiring. That pump motor ran for many years until they switched to a well.

I had to go the other way and set up a 110 volt system to my work area. I am in Australia 240 volt power. I had trouble getting 110 wall mounts and had the great luck to be in contact with Bert Kemp who sent me the required wall mounts to keep the cord plugs at 110 volt. I was advised to just mount 240 volt type wall mounts and change the cord ends to Australian type of three slots. I did not want anyone to plug a 240 volt plug into 110 volt (It would not work very well) or plug a 110 volt machine into a 240 volt wall mount (fry the machine and possibly cause a fire), Friends bought an electric blanket for their child and fitted it to a new bed and turned it on and the bed caught fire as the heater wires burnt the top of the bed. Found the electric blanket had been imported with incorrect wiring for this country. lucky the bed and a correct electric blanket was supplied and all of the other types were destroyed. Be very careful when dealing with different voltages. If you wish to get Australian wall mounts please feel free to contact me and I will send them to you at cost price.
