High battery voltage eliminates the requirement for a bidirectional DC/DC converter. If the battery voltage is high enough, the requirements of the separate DC/DC have vanished that further reducing the cost and increasing the efficiency.
Isolation is expensive, components also usually become more expensive for higher isolation values, and higher voltages result in more parasitic electrical effects. I'm pretty sure these are the main reasons why it is not done, efficiency is a secondary issue wrt system cost.
