I have wondered this for a long time, and initially just thought it was a technology limitation. Now though I'm almost positive they could make a 1.5v rechargeable, but don't. I guess part of it might be that they have done it this way for so long they just don't want to change.
I'm more curious as to the initial reason for going 1.2v and why (other than tradition) they don't just make 1.5v cells instead for the typical battery sizes (i.e. AAA, AA, C, D)
Seems like it would make things a lot simpler. I've searched for the answer, but couldn't find a wiki entry or anything on an urban legend or anything like that.
