As someone who just had to have a wall torn out to repair a pipe, having it on the outside would've saved me so much time, money, and damage.

Where you lost me was blaming housewives for causing pipes to be put behind walls.

I dunno I kind of like it when my water keeps running and the pipes don’t burst even when it’s freezing outside

I was referring more to internal pipes. If the pipes were displayed on top of the walls instead of inside it, repairs would be easier, and leaks would be caught faster. If a pipe wasn't going to freeze inside a wall, it certainly shouldn't freeze inside the house.

That does make more sense.

I lived for a while in Australia in a house with water pipes running on the outside and I found that shocking.

We pay a LOT, in terms of time and complexity, for having nice smooth pretty interior walls.

I think the era was housewives, not the cause.

But yeah conduits should be ran outside walls and decoritively integrated into the design of the space. Additionally, they should be easily accessible when maintenance is needed.
