The UK ring circuit is such a tremendously wonderful invention that it is mostly used in houses (and small shops/offices).
One of the principles is that on one floor of a house you will want plenty of sockets, but almost all of these will be for low loads (TV, table lamp etc) and there is unlikely to be more than two heavy 3kW loads (fan heater, washing machine) in use at a time, and each heavy load will be occasional or intermittent.
In an industrial environment you can expect to have quite a lot of people, possibly wanting to connect lots of things, all of which may be in use for the entire working day, so the expectation that there will not be more than two big loads does not hold good any more.
However, in a domestic environment, with the splendid UK fused plug, I think it is an excellent solution.
