From what I've seen over a lot of years, a house wired with only #12 is usually done so out of either ignorance of reality or to an even greater degree, because someone wants to be a big-shot.
Receptacles with #12 is usually a good idea, lights on #12 is almost always unnecessary.
The frowny face was because to work on a receptacle, the lights have to be off. And they dim/flicker when the wife starts her blow-dryer.
