I can say with absolute conviction that 95% of mains plugs examined during my career had the default 13amp fuse in place even if it was a tablelamp, saw quite a few silver paper ones as well!, having the plug moulded on these days has at least some benefits.

I have also seen lots of badly wired plugs in my time.
I once rescued some kit from a big place that was upgrading. About half of the plugs were badly wired and fitted with 13A fuses.
They ought to have known better.
