Watched a crew install a whole school gym with nothing but zipties and a 12V drill

I was at a job last month at a middle school in Nashville helping with a retrofit. Another crew was working the gym and I saw them just ziptie everything to the conduit and use a 12V drill to punch through drop ceiling tiles. No pull string, no fish tape, just brute force and speed. Made me think, why am I spending 30 minutes per run trying to be neat when the panel doesn't care how the wire gets there. Has anyone else dropped the fancy tools for a simpler approach?

Did the inspector have anything to say about how they tied everything off? That kind of shortcut usually gets flagged on commercial jobs around here.

@kai807 honestly it's just a gym not a hospital.
