But there's something I don't quite understand.

Why is it that using a power strip/extension is considered "bad" and more prone to overloading?

Let's say I have, 5 devices that I need to plug in. What's the difference between
i) Get an electrician to install 5 power points in a row, and use one for each device.
ii) Install a power track system, and attach 5 adapters, and use one for each device.
iii) Install a single power point, plug in a long power strip/extension that have 5 points, then plugging the 5 devices into the power strip.

I was thinking to install power track in kitchen and study room (as till unable to decide how many power points needed before start renovation)
