Weight reduction. There's nothing wrong (yet, I haven't tested the PSU).

Our fuses are 10A or 16A by default, although they can be replaced
by 20A fuses when requested from the power company. Cable diameter is
2.5mm^2, massive core. A normal circuit lasts 3.5KW, and when using
20A fuses it's 4.4KW. Our plugs are not fused by themselfs.

Since in my hobby room I have 2 sockets on the same fuse, I may just
need to either upgrade the fuse in the switchbox, or lay an extra
cable with it's own fuse.
