I guess that's like asking why would anyone use an Edison plug. Some
things might be better changed but don't need to be, and there would
be a downside to doing so.
Well, Edison plugs don't leak a lot of electrons.
Hmm. You get a lot more electrical fires than we do.
Not so you'd notice. From net searches, it seems as though you folks
have about 6000-7000 electrical fires a year, and we have about 28000.
Since the US has about five times the population of the UK, we may even
be a bit ahead.

It seems you're right. Maybe wirenuts aren't as terrible as I thought. They've been banned here since the 50s.
Huh, what do you use if you have no wire nuts? For say ~10A house wiring?

Holy crap! 50x the price of wire nuts!
looks like that single screw ones are 100pcs
I use the "Euro-style" terminal strips for wiring at work. 8 or 10
connection, two screw per, strips are about $6ea.
like these?

$6 sounds very expensive

I guess the TE name adds 10x to the price
It didn't make
sense but I didn't see the quantity in the title. Thanks for pointing
that out. How do you connect four or five wires together (common in
multi-gang switch boxes)?
seldom have to put wires together, most switches and outlets have holes
for two wires on each connection so you can chain them
I *NEVER* use the stab connections. I will use the ones held by the
screw. I always use pigtails for the neutrals and grounds, as well. I
will daisy chain hots.
they are spring loaded you have to hold in a button to insert the wires
