I’d imagine the percentage of people actually doing this is very low. It’s all about throwing stuff together as fast as possible with prefabricated materials and low iq labor who simply don’t give a shite about what they are doing.

Its actually worse than that...most localities INSIST on poor materials and questionable methods based on codes developed by people and organizations with a vested interest in local authorities insisting on poor materials and questionable methods. Do some research into arc fault breakers, Siemens, The National Fire Protection Code and the "increase" in safety resulting from arc fault breakers. To sum up no independent organization has ever found that they do what they are supposed to do but they do drive up the cost of wiring a home substantially and, as a nice ancillary benefit, result in lots of call backs after warranties expire. They also allowed Siemens to get in on the windfall that they missed out on with GFCIs.....
