Kinda. Except if everyone is doing it in say an apartment building you have to plan for the increased electrical load and in older structures particularly with like plaster electrical retrofits are difficult. In certain wall structures it's not always easy to know where drilling wont mess with wiring or plumbing too.

There are also often laws trying to restrict appearance from the street from changing too much so that's another barrier. And of course you need your landlord to agree, and agree to the ongoing maintenance. They'll also jack the rent.

well yes, when i had my AC installed, they drilled into the conduit that had my wires inside. but they're prepared for that sort of thing and stopped in time, so they only damaged the conduit, not the wires inside.
