I am able to get components with unwanted lighting all over the place, but none where lighting is desirable.

Didn't ask for lighting in my fans, got them.
Didn't ask for lighting on my motherboard, got it.
Didn't ask to a blinding light in the power indicator of my monitor, which is brighter than the screen itself. Had to tape it up.
Took a real while to find a cabinet without glass/acrylic stuff, because that's all people sell nowadays.
Asked for a good backlit keyboard for a reasonable price. I had to make cutouts out of glow-in-the-dark stickers.
- RGB everywhere by default, but getting even a single coloured backlight on a keyboard ramps up the price like anything.

Some people use the RGB to indicate system loads by colour, so they can have a visual indicator for when a long process finishes

That's a nice way to use it.
Not for me though, since I prefer audio cues for those things.

I use the RGB on my gaming mouse to help find it in the dark, but that's all. Since it's usually too bright, all 3 RGB values are kept under 10 (out of 255).

As for the keyboard, I am mostly fine with a single colour LED. RGB would be considered a nice to have for seasonally changing colours. I may find different zone based colours useful, but I need to find a good enough keyboard first.
