It's still common in newer construction. My 2000s house doesn't have ceiling lights in any bedroom but the master bedroom. They just wire half the wall plugs to the switch in the room.
Yeah, it's a cheap construction "shortcut" and I hate it. Thankfully I'm handy enough to run conduit because I wouldn't be able to deal with lamp lighting
I understand your frustration, but you can't deal with nice lamps in the corners of your rooms?
Overhead lighting is just so much nicer. It doesn't get in the way of cleaning or moving furniture, you don't need an extension cord if it's too far from an outlet, there isn't the game of is it off on the lamp or wall switch, kids can't grab it, and pets can't knock it over.
That is correct. My lights are automated and I use the overhead light in conjunction with my alarm in the morning
