Do you know anyone who actually uses power over Ethernet? Every motherboard I've ever bought supports it, but I don't know anyone who uses it.

Although the inverse, networking through your power line certainly used to be a thing. It looks like people still do it sometimes.

PoE is amazing for certain devices. Cameras (including video doorbells), and WiFi equipment.
