They can't possibly have foreseen every single possible power strip configuration out there. Some have the receptacles placed much closer together than others.
Actually I'd say it's the manufacturer of the power strip that has screwed up, those receptacles look like they are very close to one another.
Yet another case of cost-cutting design. Placing the receptacles really close together allows the overall power strip to be a little shorter. Shorter power strip equals less materials to build it equals saved money.
