Like occupancy sensor switches, for example. You're only supposed to be allowed to have vacancy sensor switches, which you have to turn on manually and will turn off automatically when no motion is detected. Because some people are just that anal about wasting electricity.
However, if you know where to look (hint: Amazon.com) you can find many things that the government doesn't want you to have...

Shortly after moving in here, aunt Margaret was visiting from BC, and dad's couch was still in the front hall. I had to wave my arms every time it decided we weren't there. (I think my couch was still in the apartment?) that switch (along with many others) are now regular switches. Annoyingly, the sensor switch for the garage path decided to change to a regular switch at some point between the old bulb burning out, and me replacing it with a functioning LED. I don't know if something fried when the bulb burned out, or if it just doesn't like the cold-start, dimmable LED. I decided always on low was better than always off or always on high. I have yet to find a replacement switch for it. (Which may be related to the cost of such switches, or might be just none of the ones I've found seemed correct.)
They were regular switches long before that. Father installed them, and then spent most of his time switching them on and off manually because he was always grumpy about when they would automatically come on.
🤣🤣🤣 Yeah, they were normal switches when mom lived in the house.
That reminds me… the second floor hall was leaking again, so I opened the door to the north-east third-floor crawl space… then closed it. I'll send you a photo.
