The EU introduced a standardised light plug a few years ago. It’s not being installed retroactively in old houses but is required in new houses. I would expect any changes to power plugs would work the same way.
You mean the euro plug? Guess it was simple due to being compatible with most existing plugs by default, unfortunately meaning no earth pins.
If any new full plug is designed it will be a decade-long project for sure. In the end they can also do stuff like reduce taxes on adapters to 0% or even subsidize them so you could get a 10-pack for 3€ or something. It’s just an annoying political thing as it takes way longer than one legislature.
Also who the fuck would want to go around replacing all of the sockets in their house with a new standard
