That is a fair point but only applies if you are building a new home. I don’t think it’s feasible to retrofit an existing home in this fashion.

Agreed, existing wiring is better of with dumb bulbs (you can keep using existing switches), except if you want to add dimming — I have no idea how normal person can figure out which lightbulb will not burn down given wall dimmer switch (along with the whole house), if it all fits into E27. Integrated lightbulb seems safer.
