In the USA, this has largely been fixed by a change in
the USA National Electrical Code.
When the load is largely electronic (off-line rectifiers)
the Code now requires a larger neutral conductor in three-
phase distributions.
Many constructions, while supplied from a three-phase source,
are wired as single-phase. So, in this case, the neutral
only carries the current of one phase, and we don't "fry"
the neutral.
