I may use one on my NAS device, because every now and then it requires a physical unplugging reboot, and it's hidden away in a crawl space.
But it needs it so infrequently that it seems silly to dedicate one of the plugs to it, when I can just sent in a child. :-)

Makes sense - I'd forgotten how useful children can be for getting to those hard-to-reach places between walls and in air ducts and crawl spaces. Of course you have to be sure to remember they're in there or you'll be in for a world of aggravation.
Today one of the deals was a power bar with individually controlled outlets - that could be handy for devices like external drives and monitors that need surge suppression...
