You mean if one room has 4 lights, then there are 4 switches, one for each light? Sounds implausible that there are no looped light points at all.

Its possible, just that its not cheap.... 4 MCB to each light all direct (no loop) to either 4 individual switch or to look neat to a single 4 gang switch.
Just that you have 4 MCB instead. Also each light need direct link to it in DB Box which mean more wiring needed. If DB box just outside the room then ok.. shorter run.. if bungalow where the DB Box is downstairs and the room upstairs think the length of the wires needed.

Think electrician remark on this will be "overkill"....

I agree it is possible, just implausible for lighting
If the poster had said the 13 A sockets were individual MCBs would be plausible, because I've done it for a small car workshop. They wanted each socket to be able to use high current tools/welding.
But individual lighting circuits?

Hahahaha, yeah... just that seldom have people will ask for this.. as this will be a specialty request.

Seen such arrangement before.. direct 5 "lighting" point to a room .. A Man Cave. An individual DB outside... everything direct... 7 units 13A powerpoint... to all corners plus Air Cond points. Whole DB Full already.

Room also custom built ... Man Cave.. for the owner hobby.... The content of the room is as expensive as a bangalow.
