AFAIC, these devices should loose their U/L listing, as I'M sure, it is the cause of electrical fires. Usually receptacles used for portable electric heaters or window air conditioners.

Really? I hate how the solution to poor workmanship and poor product design is always more rules, that's a complete waste of effort and will require more deep boxes than usual.
