That is why the Europlug has insulated prongs. It fits where Shuko doesn't.
You actually can not even build a non-recesed Shuko (grounded) socket, because the earth contacts are part of the housing.

And non-grounded Schuko Sockets are forbidden, at least in Germany (Europlug sockets are allowed if they only accept Europlugs, see the ones on the left side here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Euro-socket.jpg https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Euro-socket.jpg . No idea what the standard might be for those.)
