this is something I’ve heard a lot from people in the UK, do UK electronics not have switches on them or something? all electronics I’ve ever seen living in the US have a power switch on them, do you think we unplug our stuff to turn them off?

I didn’t know you people had only one of them.

I have:

A switch on my appliance

A switch on each socket of my extension board

A switch on the wall

An MCB connected to groups of sockets

An MCB for the whole house

A circuit breaker on the nearby distribution station

A circuit breaker in the power plant

A generator start/stop system in the power plant

  All the switches. All the joy. No need for plugs left on the floor.

No, but my point was that there’s no need to unplug something and leave the plug on the floor if there’s a switch.
