If so, then you surely noticed the lousy Ampère rating of mere 10A for it,

If I do not need 16 A power feeds as a result of not having any 16 A
power requisites, then why would I need a 16 A cord and receptacle
system?


The standards aren't set around one person's requirements.

One does not need 16 Amp per outlet capacity.
