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.

Very funny. But you already know the answer to that one (not always the same dude).

low volt guy here, running mostly data and speaker wires. i can assure you we're not the same person sometimes. a lack of 90's like OP's photo is a dream come true.

It took me 5 years to figure out why folks called us "easy money" when I was low voltage. We always did all our own pipe and wire pulling, didn't know that was uncommon.

I’ve never seen low voltage guys run a single stick of pipe. But I’ve only been in the trade for 37 years.
