why are most electrical plugs oddly shaped?

844 views

Behind my TV I have 16 open outlets on my UPS, but I can only access 8 of them because half of the bulbous plugs take up two plugs each.

So between my router, modem, switch, access point, Roku, TV, speakers, and Nintendo, I am running out of power outlets, not because there aren’t enough outlets, but because the plugs take up more than one outlet each.

Why can’t all plugs be designed to only take up one plug?

Maybe the house of tomorrow should just have USB C ports everywhere and all devices will be sold with USB power inputs.
