> The 2-wire europlug can also be inserted into a UK outlet without an adapter; simply insert a prong into the hole for earth/ground
Please correct if wrong, but the UK plug is considered safer because in the scenario of short circuit, the earth output prevents injury. In comparison, the "euro"plug is double insulated, without the earth output. If the double insulation fails, injury will occur.

In the US we love the fact that proprietary solutions to fully optimize, and fit the technology to the purpose is still alive.
Proprietary commercialisation will not solve problems such as environmental pollution.
