I'm not helpless in the dark, that's what the emergency lights are for.

I suspect most folks can find their way around their own home in TOTAL
darkness. If you can't, hope you never wake to a house full of smoke!

They provide light for my wife and daughter too if I'm out of the house, or
sitting on the throne when the power goes out.

Unless it's a new moon, there's usually enough light streaming in
through windows and skylights, here, to see -- once your eyes become
acclimated to the darkness.

If you want to leave your keys across the house,
that's your choice.

Power outages are a rare thing. I don't want a big ring of 15+ keys in my
pocket all day for that rare situation. When I get home, the keys, wallet,
watch, change, etc. all get unloaded. I'm not packing that stuff around any
longer than I have to.

Ditto. Wallet goes on the dresser, keyfob gets hung on a hook by the
entrance to the garage.

I find a flash light on keys, or in pocket (and then
in hand) far more useful.

These days it seems most people have grown a smart phone as another
appendage. These would make a serviceable flashlight in an emergency.
