Maybe, in the future, lamps will be permanently wired into house walls. Who even needs outlets? Just buy a new house if you don't like the lamp anymore.
Isn’t that what ceiling recessed lights are?
Yeah, I get OP's joke, but "permanent" doesn't really apply to anything about houses. "Wired into wall" just means you need a screwdriver and a circuit breaker flip to change it, or maybe cutting into wall panels.
I mean it doesn't matter if the house around the wiring falls apart first. Most modern construction is like one step above paper mache.
