They're like that in this apartment we're renting and I keep seeing them elsewhere. I don't get it.

Most of those have power buttons and, aside from the charger and vacuum, those things are supposed to stay on.

I meant more things like lamps that you actually turn on and off...And the majority lamps have switches nowadays, I'm not sure why you included it on your list

    We're getting into the weeds a little bit here, but there's a lot of things that have power buttons that will put the thing into standby, not off. I've often done a 'hard reset' on my 'smart' tv when it starts acting up, just gotta cut the power.

    It's a small convenience, but it's nice. I'll happily pay the extra three cents in manufacturing costs for something that lasts decades and may be occasionally mildly helpful.
