Didn't say they didn't.
However, piggybacking your 9V won't help you power more than 1 12v device,
unless you build additional adaptor cables. Think about it.
Arguably when you chop that one 9V in half to make the first one, you ought
to make two cables anyway, what else are you going to do with the other end
(actually, you COULD connect it to any number of things, all of which are
non LEGO, but which might be useful)
