The Schuko plug referenced above is a plug used in some EU countries. The pins are all-metal and shows a picture of an example where the half-inserted pins are exposed and does not have a ground connected.

So yes, some EU products feature all-metal pins. And yes, on those plugs half-inserted plugs do expose metal parts.

Ever tried to half insert such plug? You'd be met with a thick plastic since these plugs cannot be half inserted while exposing the pins (hence the full metal pins).

That's not a Schoku socket!

Plugging the wrong type of plug into the wrong type of socket will lead to that.

That's a nice strawman, since the plug and the socket belong to different systems.
