They are correct though. In the US, it doesn't matter where you go, every state uses the same plug.
In Europe, different countries use different plugs, even though they are all in Europe.
Ireland plug:
France plug:
Switzerland plug:
Italian plugs:
States aren't countries. The US isn't a continent. If you go to a different state within a European country, it won't have a different plug either.
You should travel, see the world, open your mind. You'd find that traveling the EU is just like traveling the US, no borders, no checks, even my cell plan moves, all the same. It's even called the European "Union", you know, like how the States are a Union (pst, it's in the name, the UNITED states). So yeah, it would be the correct comparison.
You mean like in Italy, that is even shown in the picture to the comment your replying to?
I've traveled to Italy many times, vacationing. I live in a country where schuko is dominant and I've never had to use an adapter. These are all old legacy plugs, I bet you can still buy them to replace existing plugs, I don't know, but I've stayed in hotels and rented rooms (staying with people basically) and I haven't even put any thought into it.
