My bathroom light was like that, as supplied. So I re-engineered it to

[I have put a warning label on the socket to the effect that it's live
even when the light is switched off].

Many isolated shaver sockets actually have an internal switch so they are
only powered when something is plugged in. I doubt one which is part of a
light has the same - if it only worked when the light is on.

So I'd need to be sure the transformer is happy being powered up 24/7 -
and even then it will waste power unnecessarily.
