Couldn’t they’ve made it in a smaller form factor?

Europlugs are small, similar to us plugs. But the bulky schuko is very common in Europe. Europlugs are compatible with schuko sockets and many others.

You can fit two or three europlug sockets in the same amount of space as one schuko or British socket.

Ooh, I don’t think I saw those in my trip to Europe over a decade ago. They’re nice; they look so much more compact.

Put a schuko adaptor on a UK plug and you have a device for fucking up schuko sockets

Not safely with 240V. The smaller US plugs can only take 120V. The benifit of the larger plugs is they are more rigit, don’t come out easily and provide proper insulation. Thin EU plugs exist, but aren’t sufficient for heavy users. Lamps and phone chargers have the narrow plugs because they don’t pull as much power but a heavy device needs a bigger safer plug. Like a microwave, a PC or a table saw.
