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

    Having a switch next to the door would be useful if you’re using that socket for a lamp but not if you’re using them for anything else. In my kitchen the sockets for my under counter oven and fridge are under the counter and the switches are above it so I can easily access them.

      That is specifically what switched outlets in north America are intended to be used for.
