there is not a CE standard, there are some more common, but there are 6 different types of socket and 8 different kind of plugs, plus the swiss one.
Technically is possible to prepare a socket that can accommodate more than one  kind of plug [the other way is extremely unsecure].
Fore example look the picture below, that is a power strip that can accommodate type F , L small and L large plugs [beside the type C one, that fit in any socket, but works correctly only in L-small and N]

If producer would add two additional holes around ground [not possible in THIS model but very easy and not of additional cost in other models]
It  would fit also type N and J [the swiss one], even type K would fit [type E would be difficult but any current type E plug is an E/F one].
(note that to be fully compliant with N and J even the plug at other end must be one of these two)
Doing a modified shelly plug-IT with the extra contact for swiss grounding and on the other side with the ground plug screwed in, with two possible [3 if you add type N that would not be a bad idea, there are 300 million people using it, more than the type J] threads you would have a device valid for IT, CH, BR, ZA .

It would be nice if there was a Swiss plug for “Shelly Plus Plug S” as well as the German plug. That way I wouldn't have to buy any more adapters and it would look much slimmer and be more acceptable to my wife.

If you have some manuality you can get a shelly plug-IT and modify it for swiss sockets. (only ground have to be moved)
