If you use the correct name for "Romex" it's NM cable which is in the section I posted in post #8. As previously stated YES NM cable is permitted in raceways.
Why ask a question that you’re so sure you already know the answer to?

"Romex" it's NM cable...yes it is, however it is a particular type of NMC that the code does not specifically state or exception to for
Conduit or Raceways!
"As previously stated YES NM cable is permitted in raceways."
Again the correct answer is No...
Lets Start here...
The National Electrical Code (NEC) frequently emphasizes the requirement to use materials that are "listed" (evaluated and approved by a recognized testing laboratory, such as UL) to ensure safety, reliability, and compliance with applicable standards.
One of the most notable references is NEC Article 110.3(B), which states:
Do you agree so far?
Conduit or Raceways!
"As previously stated YES NM cable is permitted in raceways."

This means that materials used in electrical installations must not only be listed (tested and approved by a recognized testing organization) but must also be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the conditions of the listing.
Do you agree so far?

To correct a wrong...is that a good reason?
No, the correct answer yes. NM, NMC, NM whatever are cable assemblies.

Romex is a articular type of NMC that code does not directly and purposefully address for use in Conduits or raceways...or does it?

No. NM cables are permitted in raceways. If someone is saying that they are not they would be incorrect.
