It doesn't plug directly into the wall

That's a huge deal: it stays out of the way and it's a complete unit.

Yeah that's why I called it out. It seemed like it was an important part.

There probably isn't an actual reason why you couldn't connect it to a wall plug in a way that replicates this setup even if a bit hacky. E.g. short cable then attach the unit to the top of the plug. It's not that heavy and may attach fine without coming out of the wall.
