Seems like a PITA having to cut the metal for your electrical boxes for switches/outlets.
In our building, yes, it is in solid conduit with the outlet/switch boxes mounted to the face of the metal liner panels or attached to the columns.

It could be routed behind the liners with recessed boxes, but as you said each would need cut-out, which isn't that bad--you can use a grinder with a cut-off wheel, nibbler, or good old tin snips (most liners are 24 gauge or lighter).
