Some would consider NM cable run within the cabinet subject to physical damage and requires protection by one of the wiring methods below. I prefer MC cable.

334.15 Exposed Work.
(B) Protection from Physical Damage. Cable shall be protected from physical damage where necessary by rigid
metal conduit, intermediate metal conduit, electrical metallic tubing, Schedule 80 PVC conduit, Type RTRC marked with the suffix -XW, or other approved means. Where passing through a floor, the cable shall be enclosed in rigid metal conduit, intermediate metal conduit, electrical metallic tubing, Schedule 80 PVC conduit, Type RTRC marked with the suffix -XW, or other approved means extending at least 150 mm (6 in.) above the floor. Type NMC cable installed in shallow chases or grooves in masonry, concrete, or adobe shall be protected in accordance with the requirements in 300.4(F) and covered with plaster, adobe, or similar finish.

If it is behind draws I don't sleeve it but I do fasten it with small straps and small screws. Exposed we usually use carflex-- LTNMF

Many EI's in my area will tag you if you don't protect the RX cable inside the cabinet. It doesn't matter if the cable is neatly strapped to the inside of the cabinet and tucked into a corner. They believe that someone could incorrectly (or inadvertently) put a knife or some other utensil in a drawer the wrong way and have it damage or pierce the cable. Personally speaking, I don't see it but rather than argue with the EI, I just sleeve it in flex PVC.
