Paul I think the op is asking if 210.70(A)(1)except. 1 applies to garages, hallways etc as stated in A(2). In other words can we have switched outlets in hallways, and garages rather than overhead lighting outlets.
Sorry I didn't finish. A(1) talks about habitable rooms so IMO it does not apply to hallways and garages so a switched receptacle would not be permitted in lieu of lighting outlets in those locations
