With great respect, dimming is an essential part of , any modern,

But who has one of those? I'm not going to "design" the lighting
in my house, it's already been done 130 years ago. I have a lamp
with a dimmer on it, and don't feel any urgent need for more.

Dimming is handy in a few cases, but hardly "essential".

Yes, I quite agree, we had two dimmers in our large house, both have
failed and neither has been replaced - we really don't find the need.
