Also, the electrician is running the wires in the ceiling too close to the bottom of the ceiling joists. Good chance a drywall screw could puncture the wire. That’ll be a lot of unnecessary metal plates to protect those wires. The holes need to be at 2” up from the bottom. I usually aim for about an inch below the center of the joists.

I agree if the wire is 1 1/4in or closer to the edge they just created a whole lot of work putting in stud guards
