Default Safety switch sockets

Hi all.
And please don't laugh as I'm not an expert.
I got into argue last night about switches on our sockets.
I share the house and one of the guys switches them every night, which really gets on my nerves.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't make any safer or saves the energy.
Maybe when you are gong on holiday, you can switch it off, but then we just unplug everything anyway.
Could you put me to rest and tell me who is right, and whats the real purpose of it on the socket?

Thank you very much for any replies .
