I know it is up to code, but it is not standard. The flexibility of
romex in conduit is ridiculous. It just doesn't make the turns real
well. Have plenty of lube on hand and a helper.

Romex is for installations outside conduit. It doesn't make sense to use
this type of wire in a conduit.

If you're pulling it around corners in a chase then you should turn the
chase into a conduit and use separate conductors. But it makes plenty
of sense to use an EMT chase if the code requires that there be no
exposed wiring in a particular area and you have a straight shot from
where you need a fixture to a location where exposed wiring is OK--then
you just run a straight piece of Romex through a chase to wherever you
need the receptacle or switch or whatever.

you never run romex in conduit!!!
You run multistrand wires in conduit.



Never say never - in industry everything in conduit is separate
conductors, but NMS cable in conduit for protection is rather common
in residential applications. And it DOES meet code.

You can always run some romex in metal conduit on the outside of the
wall. It doesn't look all that sexy. But is is often done in shops. Not
much mess with that approach. Just find the wood behind the drywall to
attach the conduit. Conduit attaches easily to the outlet boxes. Lights
and outlets can them be added to the outlet boxes.
