In case this is not obvious: they are great for Internet cafes to plug in many low power devices. E.g. a bunch of laptops, USB-C outlets and devices that will not run simultaneously. Also it's got a current protector just in case.
No, it would be horrible for that because it is in one location and would become risky any time it was busy. Plus most of the outlets would be blocked by nearby power plugs.
If it was intended for a large number of low draw stuff through USB then having a ton of USB plugs would make sense.
There is a reason that businesses of that type add lots of permanent outlets to plug power strips into.
In case it's not obvious, this is photo shopped.
The real one (warning, Amazon link) has 10 wall-wart outlets, 12 "regular" outlets, and 6 USB ports. It's also rated for 1875W/15A like most household circuits in the US.
Still pretty sketch for under thirty bucks, TBH.
I own it. No fire yet.
