That's true. I was thinking more of the claim of its being "taxing on the outlet". That's clearly not so. You're absolutely right, though, in saying that a certain degree of care is needed in the design of something that's potentially going to carry 4A. Heat loss = (I^2)*R, so goes as the square of the current.
