I just got a giant, house-encompassing circuit like that broken up in my house. It ran the entire length of the front of the house, one wall each from two bedrooms, the entire living room, and one wall of the garage. Like who on earth ever thought someone would want all of these things controlled with the same circuit breaker? Getting it split up was the best money spent.
