    Might be exterior lights that also have motion sensors so you never realize you turned them on.

    or switched outlets that were converted back to unswitched

    or fan/light switches but no light kit was installed with the fan

      That first one might actually be it. There’s an old motion light on that side of the house that I still need to change out. Good call.

      Or no fan was installed with the light.

      I was going to get smug about how I was diligent enough to blank off the switch when I removed my garbage disposal, but then I remembered I have switches that do nothing in my fanless bedrooms.

        I use a bunch of sabbath covers for switches that either do nothing or shouldn’t typically be switched. Easier than installing blanks.
