Anyway, as I said, I'm happy with the way Wemo is working now, and not inclined to tamper with it.

It does seem like an oversight by Amazon. Along with not having widgets.
And just a reminder, you wouldn't need to use voice Commands if you had a routine; the routine could have two actions (turn on the plug and set the timer), and then you could press play on the routine (although it may be tedious to get the routine).
I can understand that people have an aversion/trouble with voice commands. But for me, if an Alexa device is available, I would rather say "Alexa goodnight" than have to pick up my phone, swipe to the widgets, and then press the power button on the appropriate widget.
