For the low-voltage steppers we use, is a low-voltage driver like DRV8834 more appropriate?

Most of the stepper motors we use for our machines are rated for low motor voltage (2-5v). However, most electronics seem to use high-voltage versions of the stepper drivers. For example the popular A4988 and its clones operate from 8-45v. Is there a reason why this isn't a problem, or should we instead be using low-voltage drivers like the DRV8834 (2.5-10.8v)? Am I missing something obvious?
