I do hear what you are saying and kinda agree. But there is nothing wrong (code wise) with installing a bunch of 15 amp receptacles on a 20 amp branch circuit as long as the wire is rated for the 20 amps.
Actually when you consider that home breakers (by code) are only good for 80% limiting a 20 amp breaker to an actual maximum draw of 16 amps.
