> I mean, no matter what your walls are made of, you have to physically cut a hole for the switch or outlet to sit in. I don't think so - just have some spare panels with pre-made holes (perhaps off center, so the holes can be positioned more precisely by rotating the panel). > Then you have to contend with your insulation material releasing fiberglass fragments or whatever into the room. Hm.. Ok, where I live it's usually going to be concrete on the other side, not insulation material. > You are not going to be replacing things often I think the popularity of wirelessly controlled lights and speakers says otherwise. Not to mention various decorations (especially if they require electricity - wall hanged bookshelf with decorative lights, paintings with a light above it, or maybe you simply want to move TV to the other wall). And this would allow renters to customize their apartments much more easily. It might be that you (possibly also most people?) just change their mind about these kinds of stuff less often. I grant you that it might end up being pretty expensive because of the mounting structure.
