That depends on where you live, but yes, the design used in the USA (known as the 'type A' connector) was very poorly designed. It gives very little mechanical support.

The country I live in happens to use the type F connector, which is very sturdy.

I'm pretty sure they mean fitting as in not unnecessarily blocking adjacent outlets. Not as in mating securely.
