Type B is objectively inferior. This is not anti-americanism either, Technology Connections has my back here. But it’s not bad enough to replace three big countries worth of plugs and outlets. The only way to have a global standard would be something like Italy’s plug orgy system where you can fit multiple different types but that would kinda defy the purpose.
I don’t think that’s a real argument. There are plenty of things that suck and the reason they don’t change is because of inertia, not because it works well. See Qwerty, Azerty, Qwertz.
So you say technology connections has your back but you didn’t even say why it’s inferior my first thought is you have no idea why. It just seems dumb posting that without any sorta proof.
it’s been standardized multiple times! the Italian outlets look like that to be backwards compatible with their older standard, where different amperages had different plugs.
This is one of those things I can’t believe hasn’t been standardized. Why???
As for the question, the one I grew up with type B. All others seems weird to me.
It has been standardized, but like most standard there are competing ones.

The criticisms of type B are so minor, it reaches so hard.
All of them work as they should, or they would have been replaced a long time ago.
But there definitely are differences, and one is better than the rest.

If there’s an American plug to be criticized, it’s the Edison plug.

Cool
