Here in Norway, new EVs are no longer allowed to be sold with AC adapters, due to the potential fire hazard. At least that's the reason I got when I purchased my current EV.
Perhaps a EU thing, wouldn't surprise me.
Could also be that for historical reasons you could have a house wired for 10 or 13 A and not be aware if it.
‘Course you can manage that by having the chargers limit themselves to 8A default (or even always), at 1800W that’s a very slow trickle but it’s something, and even if it does not fully cover your commute it spaces out carger stops or helps condition the battery on cold mornings.
That's a little more power than a US 15A, or the same as a US 20A.
There is often 3 phase power to the home in Europe, however. That allows 415V phase to phase and also 3-phase synchronous motors.
Both type E and F plugs are rated for 16, and afaik that’s generally the rating in countries which use them.
I’m sure there are others but Switzerland is the only country I know of in Europe were plugs are limited to 10 and you have to hard-wire 16.

Sure you might burn a house down if you find one that has a plug which isn't correctly installed with loose connectors but the fire risk here wasn't the EV. Its the incorrectly installed wiring.
You don't tell people to get rid of their fridges because some people might have forgetten to plug theirs in and therefore they could get food poisoning from spoiled food inside.
That said there's been a campaign for several years trying to get rid of sockets for high current or permanent installations. I recently replaced both an electric water heater and mini split AC, and in both cases the previous appliance had used a socket and that was not allowed anymore.
Could well be they're just being proactive.

This means you can put a low-current plug (small ground pin) into a high-current socket (large ground slot), but not the other way around.
Only downside I've found so far is that you can't use a high-current-rated extension cord to plug a low-current appliance into a low-current socket.
Typical cause seems to be old, worn-out installations or improperly done installations.
Perhaps 999/1000 outlets being able to function safely at rated longterm maximum draw (when there is no obviously visible damage) used to be an acceptable ratio. Doing anything close to maximum draw for long periods and unsupervised was less common.
With EV-charging becoming more common the old standard is no longer good enough. There is too little margin for error and too high likelihood of a situation where error leads to damage.
Level 2 chargers here either need PEN fault protection built in, or you need a correctly sized earthing rod installed.
Tesla on the other hand doesn't include AC adapter in newly sold cars (since about a year).
TL/DR: no but kinda yes
