> I doubt that we're changing power plugs because there's hundreds of millions of them out there.

Could be done, with adapters.

Having travelled the EU with Irish/UK plugs on my electronics, it's a pain in the ass unless you have swapped the plug on several power strips.

Also, basically all of the adapters say not for long term use, and they're nowhere near as stout or secure as either type of plug alone.

Anyway, the UK plug is the best one out there, except for stepping on them. They're worse than legos, and that's saying something. (and maybe size, weight, and cost. But electrically, they're good)
