If so, then you surely noticed the lousy Ampère rating of mere 10A for it,
which is just 2.3kW, rather than the 3.68kW which you have with a 16A

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.

As in I that represents any joe sixpack homeowner.

One does not need 16 Amp per outlet capacity.

Good luck plugging in a switchable 1200/1500W electric room heater, when 1200W
just don't warm enough or a fix power 1350W type or a decent µ-wave.with 1kW
or 1.1kW *output* power, sucking about 1.5kW out of the wall.
