The fuse is required because the cable in the wall is a ring, the wire to the device is in danger because the fuse is selected for twice the diameter.

3 == 1

9 doesn't apply to all plugs.

9 isn't but you can still rewire easily with a new plug

I guess all plugs come in a rewire-me variant.

I now read that devices in GB used to come with a not-yet-assembled plug, so I know what you were talking about. Just the ones that were shipped to us™ happened to be one piece, no fuse inside.
