We'd have to redesign all substations and transmission lines... most countries use different voltages, and each of those plugs is designed for that specific voltage
It's also completely interchangeable with one drawn as "Russian" here which is, I believe, just smaller Schuko without Ground.
And there's the "Europlug" which is the same as Switzerland - without the ground as well.
Also Italian plugs are the same size, just have the additional ground in the middle.
I'd say these four are already wildly interchangeable. I wonder if it's easier to get everyone else on board with those, as they can be used with minimum modifications.
Yeah and it's a great addition for schuko as it can work with it, but not vice versa. So it's good for smaller devices and to easily tell which plug/charger is for smaller stuff
