I agree when it comes to what you would find in a typical dwelling. Something you are more likely to find in a commercial setting could come without a cord and have option to install a cord or hard wire it. When I first mentioned less then 300 VA or 1/8 HP I was mostly thinking typical residential range hood with no microwave. Those were and still are usually hard wired. Though even with the 2017 change - many have unit switches that meet qualifications so still not really a problem.
Eaton has them for both their lines - they work on AFCI/GFCI's so does Square D on both their lines. Not familiar with GE or Siemens, but willing to bet they have them also. You do have to buy the one that fits whatever it is you have.
Those universal handle locks that fit most anything don't meet requirements of 110.25
Retired items like Pushmatic, FPE, Zinsco, etc. - probably better off to plan to use some other method. If at a dwelling, chances are you are already looking for other methods because of AFCI rules and no AFCI breakers to fit your panel.
I live for today, I'm just a day behind.
