Wait, in the UK all outlets have to have physical switches. Is it not like that in the US?

Nope. Switched outlets are pretty uncommon in the US. (I've seen them, but not recently.)
Is that actually a requirement? I know it's the norm, but my house still has plenty of unswitched outlets.
In old houses some are unswitched, but modern ones are always switched I think.
