Who said that you could only have two things plugged into a regular outlet, before power strips? Leviton makes a panel where three plugs are supported.

It’s a nice idea, but I find the real problem isn’t the number of outlets in the wall. That’s why power strips were invented. It’s the damn power bricks or wall worts. Still, it’s a nice idea if you need to add an extra power outlet somewhere.
