The cost of the cable maybe, not the cost of all the ancillary work.
Most people have or want cameras in places where it won’t be particularly easy to run wires, like door frames for door bells, and outside walls with insulation and various utilities in the way.
Other people live where they can’t do it at all (an apartment)
No one should ever need to cut into your walls. A good tech will run down from attic or up from crawl space. The most you should ever have is a new plate where a box may be placed. If someone is cutting frivolously into your walls they should be fired. Hopefully they had contractors insurance too. Probably not if they were that incompetent.
Yep. With the solid walls I have, if you’re not chasing into the plaster/brick, you’re putting trunking on the outside (which looks pretty awful, imho).
Running ethernet is pretty cheap

That’s a bit of a blanket statement. It depends on the house and where you want the cable to go.
