And for kettles and washing machines we still have earth connections. Doesn’t make sense to make it mandatory so a 5W charger has to be bigger than the phone.
You can still have sockets that accept grounded appliances like washing machines without ALWAYS requiring a bulky third prong that’s not gonna get used anyways. And about the shutters you can have them open when both prongs are inserted at the same time
Fair point, thing is there just exists a better way of doing small ungrounded plugs like phone chargers, I honestly haven’t used a British phone charger but from what I saw they seem pretty bulky compared to what I have
People still use kettles and washing machines.
You can get a USB power strip.

I have literally never felt that British plugs were bulky

Most public places including buses have USB ports. And my mains phone charger folds the earth pin in anyway, so it’s not too bulky.
