Just asked my electrician the same question, yes its legal and to code here in
Washington State to use multiple 15amp outlets on 12 wire and 20 amp breaker.
L&I inspector agreed and says its installed per code.

Switches should be sized to the load but 15a receptacles are actually
rated to pass through 20a. The listing on any equipment using a 15a
(NEMA 5-15) plug should be limited at 12a or 80% of 15a. I have seen
some non-compliant equipment but it is rare. Usually the labeling is
bogus, like those "1800 watt" hair dryers that are actually more like
1400w.
