That wins. Big time.

I'd rather have outlets at chair-rail height to make rooms safer for pets and toddlers, but the height of outlets is probably in the building code somewhere.

It almost certainly is illegal to put so many outlets on one wall.

In garages, sheds, and other places where there is the possibility of flooding, the regulation height is much higher, about light switch height. That's how the outlets are in my studio (where the water heater also is). I'd imagine you can install outlets higher than regulation, just not lower (for the flooding thing).

I'm sure it's not meant to be taken seriously. And I bet most of them are not wired.

Structural strength?

If that's drywall behind there, and all those outlets are real, then wired or not, that is an accident waiting to happen. The paper on the drywall is what gives it its strength, and if there are that many holes for that many outlets, if someone sneezed wrong, they'd probably blast through that little bit of gypsum and paper that was holding everything together.

Unless, of course, that wall is also full of studs and/or someone used regular plywood instead of drywall.
