The real reason for AC is to torture electrical engineering students.I thought it was to torture live sound guys with 60 hertz hum.

That too. More than torture electrical engineers it is especially cruel to budding engineers from other disciplines who have to take basic electrical circuits as an engineering science elective.

I always thought it was so the practical joker in the class (why are you all looking at ME?) could turn electrolytic capacitors into fircrackers by using a suicide cord and a wall outlet.

For years I've wondered if life wouldn't be easier for sound guys like us if the mains were DC. But the only way it could work would be with everything internally powered by those acoustically and electrically whiney DC-DC converters. And of course the reason for their whineyness is that the must generate AC internally.
I guess there's no way to get around AC.
