Separate The Cord From The Device

Notice how your printer's power cable can be detached from the printer. Notice that you can remove the power cable from your computer — be it a laptop or a desktop or a tower.Why shouldn't this same modular principle be applied across the board to everything electrical?Why should I have to fuss and fool around with keeping the cord out of my way when I clean my microwave or toaster oven?For that matter, coffee bean grinders and kitchen mixers etc.Why should I have to reach behind all the stuff on my kitchen counter to unplug these appliances when it would be so much easier to detach their power cables?
