Makes a decent draw wire.

If the cabling was installed before the drywall, good chance it's stapled.
Even if it isn't stapled: Good chance that it has turns inside of walls, floors, and/or ceilings that are impossible to successfully pull new wire through without creating new access for someone to get their hands in there.

Residential low-voltage cable plants are almost never implemented in a way that makes upgrades simple.

Thats hideous.
IIRC it's code :( Very silly IMO.
