The obvious problem is that you can't use the MUCH more
reliable fully moulded and non openable plugs on everything
and end up with the original problem of manually terminated
wires in the fused plug top which is a hell of a maintenance
downside.

I keep forgetting you come from a
country with cheap and nasty plugs etc.

Nothing nasty about modern molded plugs that don’t have a fuse.

There is no difference in reliability between a
decent well fitted 13 plug and a moulded on type.

Wrong, as always. You never see the moulded
plug have to be reterminated as was just been
discussed with the fused plugs.
