Are new houses hardwired?

Hardly any homes have ever been hardwired unless someone specified that during the build.

I did peruse a fairly high-end townhome (3500-4000sqft, 4 floor+roof) smart home 3-5 years ago. All of the "smart" stuff was hard wired which is the only way to do it if you want it to be reliable.

People want "wired" to be a thing of the past because it's not as convenient as wireless. But that doesn't make it better.
