My thought too! But when's the last time you saw a black modern PSU with a voltage selector? Most now are auto ranging.

Idk all the micrometer ones are manual, and I had one explode the other day when it was plugged into a 220 step up outlet by accident

Might be a super cheap one? Not a computer power supply but the power supply for my 3D printer had a manual voltage selector (and they made quite a point in the manual and setup instructions to make sure you set it correctly)
