This is the correct answer. It’s overengineering to imply luxury, but it doesn’t actually add any value. Same with buying a 1,200 or 1,500 watt PSU- entirely unnecessary for most gaming rigs unless you’re running a 4090+12900k/13900k.

Actually no, I'm pretty sure it's required.  I don't know what PSU OP has, but looking at the possibilities, it's at least a 1200W PSU.  From OP's picture, we can also see that it is rated for an input voltage range of 100-240V.  At 100V, the PSU will draw more than 12A because the PSU will not have a power factor of 1, and since it may have a continuous power draw exceeding 12A, it's required to use the higher rated connector.
