The FI is part of the fuse box / distribution box, not of the socket. Apples and Oranges. You get that in the UK as well. What you don't get on Schuko, or just a subpar version, is mechanical protection closing the phase/neutral pins when the earth pin is not inserted.
Yes, the UK socket is ugly and the plugs look clumsy, but it's extremely well thought trough.

The retarded Schuko Plug needs to be turned around when your LED lights keep flashing although the power is out.
British Sockets are normed so the null phase is always on the correct pin.
Standard Schuko sockets have no built in protection for children trying to put sticks in it. British Sockets do.
I'm German and I must say: As ugly as it is, the British socket is much better thought through and idiot-proof. The wall sockets also come with a built-in on/off switch most of the time, which is quite practical when so many manufacturers only provide standby functions any more.

To give some more insight: The superiority of the BS 1363 has become clear to me especially with today's LED lights. In several German homes or even hotel rooms I've had to deal with flashing LEDs when the power switch was off. It's due to the LED still getting micro stray currents on the capacitors when they're connected to the live wire. The Schuko socket doesn't care about how you plug it in. You then have to turn the plug around so these are connected to the null phase and the flashing stops.

On BS1363, it is pre-defined which pin is connected to the live plug and which is connected to the null plug.
Also, the British plug has a built in hardware protection against children inserting sticks. With the Schuko standard I grew up with in Germany, this was not the case - and as a 4 years old toddler, I almost electrocuted myself. Today as a parent, I appreciate this.

Lastly, the included fuse may look ridiculous from a German point of view, but actually the British Ring-Circuit is much more material efficient than the centralized German circuits. It's also much more convenient when you turn on a device and it directly goes off again, to first check a local fuse first before searching for a godforsaken fuse box somewhere around the floor.

TLDR: When I see a british socket, I have the confident feeling that it was designed by a control freak just like me. ♥️

Pre Napoleon, they had a quite history of intervening in conflicts whenever these were not on their own soil. The 30 Years War was just the tip of the ice berg.
Neutrality was just label to stay out of bloc entanglement during in the Cold War, but since WWII, they have indirectly supported terrorist or separatist movements in Africa and Middle East. Sweden was never a second Switzerland.

@LiberalMut @ElefantImRaum2 Stimmen nach Landbesitz gewichten. Ein Staat kann territorial gegründet sein oder völkisch. Da Volk in Deutschland historisch bedingt nicht sein darf, muss hier das Territorium staatstragend sein.
Wäre also nur konsequent dem, der mehr davon besitzt, mehr Einfluss zu geben.
