Default Rewiring and junction boxes

After reading your responses it seems that there is nothing inherantly

Yup.

How about one centrally located junction box (e.g. under center of
floor) with wires out to each outlet in all directions (like a big ol'
spider). Or perhaps one JB in the NW corner and one in the SE corner,
each feeding two or three outlets on each adjacent wall.

Life isn't just all or nothing.
