I guess it’s possible, but they’re usually on a dedicated circuit and it’s incredibly rare for someone to turn all burners on max and preheat the oven simultaneously, and plug something into the accessory socket.
240V really does solve a lot of problems (and a lot of multi-residential buildings only feed 208V into 240V appliances, effectively derating them).
(All of the above is from the North American perspective of course).
