Power in the Mac is improved because no regulators are perfect. All of these switching regulators need good power supplies feeding them in order to achieve good regulation and low noise. Even the Hynes regulator, which has superb input noise rejection will improve a little if driven by a linear supply versus a switcher.
Nothing in this world is textbook perfect. Regulators are not perfect, decoupling capacitors are not perfect.
