Compared to the French standard, Schutzkontakt lacks polarization (bruh), fails to accept cheap ungrounded Chinese plugs lacking the cutouts (it’s also harder to incise those properly for Schuko, unlike the French ones where you just punch a hole straight through) and is subjectively flimsier in general.
