So do we. But we don’t need as many of them, usually just for areas with a lot of electronics like entertainment centers or computer desks.
US electric code requires an outlet like every 6-8 feet (~2m) along a wall so you shouldn’t need to string extension cords everywhere. For the most part, it works pretty well. I have 5 outlets alone in my 12x12ft (~3.6x3.6m) bedroom.

Compared to the US, EU extension cords are actually reliable and not death traps. It’s not a big deal if you need one.
But as I said in another comment, one outlet per receptacle is not the standard, at least not here. We have two.
