This is a debate, not an argument, let's be adults about this. [Insert political joke]

Don't overestimate the cost

That's the retail price for 5, including tax.

Trade will be 20% cheaper if not more for buying in bulk.

If I moved to the states, my home would get switches on outlets.

You wouldn't because they don't exist outside of switch in place of top outlet you could wire to control one outlet.

But honestly the US already has switches on many outlets, because GFCI is required near water and some bedrooms, so the GFCI outlet can act like a switch with the test button

They absolutely do exist. I'd just have to install them.
