Why neural networks are stronger in regressions than statistical regression models

Traditionally statisticians had to experiment with order of polynomial to be used for regressing an input variable to estimate the output variable.
In short, is y = mx + c or y = k(x^2) + k0? And so on…

Universal approximation theorem says, that with a combination of hidden layers, there is a possible approximation of any mathematical function.

And with the computational power today, this makes it super easy to predict using Deep learning.
