It helps a lot that appliances for the Japanese domestic were designed to cope with different frequencies (for better or worse) from day one, as it's cheaper than having two almost identical product ranges. Motor and transformer windings designed to tolerate the extra current when running @ 50Hz, or switchable winding taps if efficiency mattered. Different pulleys / switchable gears for things where speed matters, like record players and electro-mechanical clocks.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if thousands of physics teachers suddenly cringed and started yelling "Get your units right!".

::: spoiler spoiler Wh is a unit of energy (1 Wh = 3.6 kJ) and by nature cumulative. And cumulative units can't peak, so Whp [sic] is impossible as a unit. What you really meant is Wp, as W is a unit of power (1 W = 1 J/s), which is a momentary value and momentary values can peak. :::

Two words: future proofing. In many places, 2G and 3G networks are either turned off already, or will shutdown in a year or two. Especially with the dumb phone target audience, a phone that will become a brick in a couple of years, is most definitely not something they're looking for.
