Why do they make power adapters so large that it’s difficult/impossible to plug something into the adjacent plug?

Answer 1

Something else to consider is a lot of countries (especially countries that use 240v supplies) have bigger plug sockets that are spaced further apart, so large power adapters actually fit just fine. Companies always looking to save money aren’t going to make a special, more expensive adapter with a cable for countries with small us-style outlets.
