As someone living in a country which uses a variant of Type B (without the ground pin), appreciate the design of Type F.
Mainly because it recessed, which helps with making the plug more securely plugged in. I think it has features that makes plugs really secure, and won’t be yanked off, which happened to me quite a lot (tripping on a wire, yanking off something off the wall socket, etc).
Good point. I guess there’s a balance to be made: secure enough plugging such that it won’t easily be unplugged, and yet not so strong that the cable (or the plug) breaks instead.

I like Type F as well, but I wonder if cables are more likely to be damaged if tripped over instead of just disconnecting?
