An interesting idea, however see if you can spot the mistake in the video, and something else worthy of the Black Museum towards the end

I spotted two problems. The neutral fuse and the fact that the slim stacking plugs could probably be forced in with one pin in a socket and the earth and other pin exposed to touch.

Have you guys seen the square pin plugs on products coming from China that save space by doing away with the fuse?

Might get one of those for my welder!

Well the fuse is in the Line conductor as labelled, it's just a shame that this young lady does not know the correct colour coding for Line & Neutral

Also take a look as the DS SO on the desk towards the end of the video, it looks to me if the inner cores are proud of the grommet on the patrice

A good concept, lets see what happens in the future.
