I've seen this on those Chinese wall warts. I wonder why they do that?

I suspect he is referring to wall warts, I don't think I have ever
seen a normal plug with top cable entry.

On a related point,
The Chinese wall-wart manufacturers do seem to seem to have this idea
that our 13A sockets are mounted with the earth-pin downwards, because
the regulatory labeling is often upside-down. I have several
examples.

another reason is that many older sockets are in the skirting board so low
that ther isn't room for a bottom exit wall-wart. True in this house.
