UK and Ireland do, just not pictured in the picture. I live in Murica now and I fucking miss the switches on every socket, it's such a basic convenience. Instead I have a switch on one wall that controls ONE socket only (out of the pair like in the pic) on the opposite wall, that's there I'm obliged to plug my main standing room lamp into because Murica still hasn't invented ceiling lights. I pinch myself every time I use it only to realise it unfortunately is true.

>Wtf is the Eurozone doing anyways fucking regulate that shit: France, Italy, and Germany have separate ones!?
All three EU ones are interchangeable and like 98% cross-compatible. Schuko goes in all three, flat ungrounded plugs (shaped like the Swiss ones only a little thinner and with 2 prongs only) do too, the few incompatible exceptions being ungrounded round plugs with no hole for the ground prong and no side cutouts for schuko stuff, but those are very rare and only really found on some 80's equipment mainly from Eastern Europe.

>Nobody else even uses the italian one, fuckwits
The ride doesn't end here, they actually use two different standards side by side, in theory the bigger one is for heavier amp appliances but you never know what you're gonna get. Good luck being in Italy on holiday and finding the right adapter at 1 AM because your b&b happens to have the other kind only.
