Installing several more of these over the last couple of days reminded
me that when they first came available a fww years ago someone on here
was certain that they would be the cause of great conflagrations. I
haven't heard of any fires caused by them. Has anyone? They seem to be >mainstream now, even displayed in Screwfix for casual purchase. Some
of them even have 3amp USB c ports for faster phone charging.

A belated follow up to this: the technical specification (https://scolmoreme.com/product/SFCH586PW#tech) for the sockets that I
have recently installed states that the USB standby current is 2 mA,
which I suspect would incur a barely detectable cost.
