Not at all, since 99.999% of homes have at least one light switch per room, and probably 80% of homes have only one thermostat.

Homes with electric heat have many more thermostats, which probably isn't as uncommon as you think. But still, $20 -> $250 is quite the spread.

Homes with radiant electric heat have many more thermostats, yes.
