This is a debate, not an argument, let's be adults about this. [Insert political joke]

I also like the outlets (like in the UK and probably other places) that won’t unlock the mains slots until there’s a ground pin in place.

That's... most places. Or better, they don't open unless you push in both prongs at the same time

I don't care for the one that require both mains pins go in at the same time. That's what we have most in my area and they are not as smooth as the long ground pin unlocks.

Yeah that's what I was about to say, that's... most plugs. Except the really bad ones. Maybe OP is american. 😅 In which case, my condolensces, that plug design is positively cruel.

Want to say that we do have tamper resistant plugs now. They require both pins to go in at the same time.
