That's a logical reason. How often do you find a need to pull cable back out?What if you have a problem with the RG6 half of the cable (or vice versa) and need to repull it? You're pulling both out.

The closet marked "Utility Closet" on the floor plan you posted in VIP?Basement closet beside steps. Closer to the front of the house but still somewhat central. Figure I'll have pulls coming down either the front or back at the central location, then between the joists to the closet. Don't want to traverse joists. Want two bundles coming into the closet. One from fron one from back.
Considered that, but would probably need to go I'm the unfinished storage which is not climate controlled. Not sure how a switch would hold up to that.Why not do one run to the second floor and put a switch in a closet there? Doubtful of any materials cost savings but perhaps time since I assume you're doing this yourself.
We only have cable TV in our living room. We had another box for cable in two of the bedrooms, but we barely watched TV upstairs.Planning to use the 24pt keystone panel for the coax connections. Figure I won't have all of those hot and don't see much value in having splitters for all the ports.
I have wifi, but prefer wired over it for streaming and my desktops.Think WiFi.
I run into issues streaming via WiFi. Some of it's due to the construction of my house, perhaps most of it.Think WiFi.
You couldn't locate it in a closet?Considered that, but would probably need to go I'm the unfinished storage which is not climate controlled. Not sure how a switch would hold up to that.
Lowes had it for $23/100ft today, so I got 100ft of it. I'm thinking I'll use it to get to the two TV locations (home run to the first, then from first to second) in the living room from the network closet, then one from the network closet to the master bedroom. Then use the balance to run from the second floor boxes up to the attic. That gives me the ability to run fresh pulls to the second floor boxes from the attic which is relatively easy to access from the storage area where I'll have a 1.5" conduit to the basement.Forgot about smurf tube.
That's what I'm thinking. Chit if every smart appliance is going to need a wired connection, they can just ditch that idea right nowThink WiFi.
What size tube did you buy?Lowes had it for $23/100ft today, so I got 100ft of it.

3/4" for the smurf tube. Got some screw in adapters and found that I could bore a 3/4" hole in the new work box, screw the adapter in, and hook the tube up that way. Seems pretty clean.What size tube did you buy?
