Connectors that cannot be concealed?

is it true that a 90 degree squeeze cant be concealed in ways not easy to access?? i THOUGHT only pull connectors couldnt be concealed. someone today told me otherwise, so a bit confused.

Raceways cannot have concealed angle connectors because raceways are designed to allow the conductors to be pulled in after the complete raceway has been installed. Cables can have concealed angle connectors. Here’s an example of the code wording for FMC (flexible metallic conduit) connectors like in your photo.

348.42 Couplings and Connectors. Angle connectors shall not be concealed.
