I'm slightly vexed Verizon Router plug blocks 3+ outlets

These new routers have a terrible plug that not only is so wide that it blocks at least two plugs below it, but actually extends the other direction and blocks the outlet above as well!

Seriously asking because I know a lot about tech but not a ton about the power part

Is it possible to put the majority of the big plug parts on the other end of the cable where it connects to the modem or even just a few inches down in the cable that way none of the bulk is at a plug point?

Yes. No different to a pc charger with a driver in the middle Is my understanding

But it might cost the multi billion dollar corporation a 1/2 cent more per 100,000 units, so that’s definitely out of the question.
