   Nothing to do with a switch failing, it's either bulk order price   
   or a wish to prevent accidental disconnection - for example, a   
   freezer. I detest so called skilled electricians installing   
   switched outlets in the backs of cupboards for such appliances,   
   if they must bodge then at least fit a an unswitched outlet.
