I would have thought it would be better to have fused sockets, then

How would the socket know which fuse to fit? Never noticed some appliances
come with a 5 amp fuse in the plug?

Fuses mostly only protect against a dead short. To protect the
appliance, e.g. a PSU, you need a fuse on the output or a thermal cutout.
