The question is why not adopt BS1363 elsewhere.
Most other places are wired with radial circuits fused at 16A, on average (up to 20A in 120V land), although a fused plug, if treated with the respect it deserves (like that will happen), could curb accidents caused by the misuse and miscare of non-fused cords.
For maybe a 2.5KW kettle or a clothes washer, they aren't so bad. For my camera charger, it would seem a bit "big"
I do get you on the flimsy plugs made from recycled yogurt tubs though.
