They aren’t the same but are highly correlated. You can have wrong opinions or poor taste.

I disagree, it's much easier to inspect cables or machinery when they're not hidden.
One of the apartments I looked at recently had this really annoying buzz in the kitchen, turned out it was a transformer that the previous owner plastered in. Definitely a big minus for me.
In my current apartment all cabling and piping is outside the walls because it was built before electricity was everywhere and I find it really handy <3. If the look bothers you it's not for you obviously but I don't think it's inherently worse.
Also, I would say writing bad code makes the code very inaccessible...just like burying important infrastructure in a wall.
Did that water leak last year cause mild growth in the wall? Don't know without some demolition! Want to upgrade your piping or electrical? Gotta destroy some wall, hooray, and then do more work to hide it again. Lunacy.
