Note that we can buy self-installed aftermarket fog lights and drill holes into the dash for the switch, but even then (in the jurisdictions I’ve lived in) you were supposed to turn them off when using high beams. But nobody does.

It’s because seemingly the entire point of fog lights is that you get less reflection back from the fog or falling snow. If you put on the high beams, they lose their point and serve only to further blind oncoming traffic.
I’ve found that sometimes it’s even beneficial to turn off your LOW beams and keep the fogs on.
