In Home Depot yesterday noticed large signs warning that Romex must not
be run in conduit, according to NEC.

I wasn't planning to do so, but I'm wondering why not.

Article 334.15 (B) NM - Exposed work
(B) Protection from physical damage
The cable shall be protected from physical damage where necessary by
conduit, EMT, schedule 80 PVC NMC, pipe, guard strips, listed surface metal
or nonmetallic raceway, or other means.

Looks like it is fine for exposed work and I can not find anything that
explicitly denies it. However, if you run it in conduit you must use the
width rather than the thickness for the conduit fill calculations.
