I’ll have you know, I let my bathtub drop for a year before fixing it
I’m sure if they evolved in an environment with electricity, they’d be going from room to room turning off light switches.
…Well if someone else in this damn house would ever turn them off I wouldn’t have to now would I?
My step kid literally turned on the kitchen, dining, hallway, and bathroom light after I went to bed and left them on. Cue grumpy ass me turning off lights after my late night pee. The hallway light alone is enough to light up every single one of those rooms for grabbing whatever you need before bed, the switch is five feet from their bedroom and I have a switch in my bedroom for it as well. So of course that couldn’t be the only light left on. Rant over
That’s actually a future project for me. I’ve got plenty of self hosted things going on, so adding one more just adds to the fun. Unfortunately, a lot of the upgrades to my house were done late 80s/early 90s and things I’ve done the last five years or so. So there’s an ungodly number of incompatible light fixtures in this house. Damn led fixtures that you can’t replace the light, halogen sconces, florescent tubes, and my favorite, the asshole fixture that has these fittings that currently hosts two 100000k temperature, bright as fuck, lights that I want to die, but not enough to be the fifth fixture I replace in this house.

Motion detector switches. Had to do that with my brother that used to wander in a stupor.
Not sure how much into electronics you are, but you could setup Home Assistant to automatically control your lights and/or use motion sensors.
