Probably cos they might well be a death trap for modern elf and safety

As some indeed were. Quad used to fit US style flat pin connectors as
outlets. Handy in that they took up little space on the rear panel.

One major problem is all domestic mains equipment has to come with a 13
amp plug fitted these days. And 13 amp sockets are rather large to fit to
an amp as a switched outlet.

Any mains outlet fitted to domestic equipment would have to comply to the
various regs - shutters etc.
