In America, our plugs are just one piece. They plug in, they unplug.
But I’ve seen that Brits have to open up the plugs, mess with stuff, screw it back together, and then use it.
Why aren’t British plugs one piece like American ones?

This isn’t really a thing anymore, since all products have been required to be sold with plugins installed since 1992.
However, before that, there wasn’t a lot of standardization between the plugs people had in their homes. So you’d buy something and wire up the appropriate plug for your house.
But by the 90s, 95% of people had the modern plug, so no reason to keep selling things without plugs installed.
