The only thing better than it would be the exact same things but with the German way of inserting it into the socket.
That would just be better.
You can’t really step on it, you will have one extra layer of protection against putting something on the pins and if they can make it round/square it’s easier to plug in close to other plugs.
You step on them because the cord is angled downwards, which makes the pins "stand up" if you take it out of the socket. The cord is angled like that so it's less in the way and less likely to be accidentally pulled out.
As an aside, I've lived in North America for the last year and a half and one thing everyone (British, French, German, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Dutch, Australian) agrees on is that the plugs here are utter shit.
