Fair point. Those different plugs are standardized though so adapters & travel plugs can be made.
I wondered why this has not yet been standardized EU-wide, but of course the cost of doing so would be huge, since those plugs & outlets are built into millions of buildings.
Whereas phones and electronics change much faster and can thus more easily be transitioned, I suppose.

You could always grandfather in old construction and only enforce the standard for new construction or renovations.
