Power strips with USB outlets are cheap, and look more practical.

I have noticed lately that iot takes a lot of force to insert or pull
a plug from an outlet when both are fairly new. Some regulatory
change?

So outlet strips need to be screwed down hard, and access directions
considered. Little cubes peppered on all sides with outlets could be
clumsy.
