Buy a paint pen to darken how bright they are or just use a tiny piece of electrical tape. I too hate that every goddamn thing these days has a light, but the only indication if a feature on a device is on or off is by looking at the lights, so they are unfortunately an important thing.
That's not true though, if your oscillating fan is not plugged in then it won't spin. There's a clear difference between the on/off state.
I can't think of any device in my house that has an LED in it that really needs one to indicate on/off state. The power strips all have an on/off switch on them that clearly incicates whether you have it turned on. The devices with LEDs in the plugs will indicate whether they are on or off based on whether they work when plugged in, having an LED in the plug is just useless.
Didn't see if anyone else recommend it, but there's dimming tape you can get in sheets or rolls. I can't stand my room being lit up by every damn device needing to show that it's on! I put it on nearly every LED in my bedroom, double layer for those damn blue LEDS that are always ultra bright. For things I can't fit it on, there's always black sharpie or like OP said, paint pens.
Just devils advocate, but I can think of a bunch. Just on my desk alone
