It’s not the position it’s what goes in it.
It’s got to go on to the hard side of a cupboard and not the flimsy back of the unit and most of the time will be on a surface mounted box.
Seen a few sockets smashed and the moulded plugs being put under strain/pressure because of overloaded cupboards.
How many times does the socket or plug require to be reached behind an appliance?
Usually when it’s renewed for another new appliance.
Not saying it’s poor practice just that saying a socket should never be behind an appliance is ludicrous.
