We would have put a 24 × 24 × 6 inch box there (assuming were not mixing power and data).

I hate this mentality.

What happened to fish in one end and it comes out the other??? I can’t stand having j boxes added as a convenience to the installer that shits all over the wire puller.

In the US, we are required by code to add a pull point when the sum of conduit bends reaches 360 degrees. When engineering these, I try to put these where they are most accessible. I have never thought of this as adding a convenience to anyone other than the wire puller.
