Not really, not anymore, almost everything is soldered or integrated or pins even the wifi antenna is a trace on the board these days, laptops still have a few but that is just because they don’t need to shrink that much but everything from dongles to phones don’t have wires these days.
I would argue the traces on a PCB are the same as wires. They take the same form (highly conductive material thats insulated on all sides) and do the same thing (carry electrical signal between two devices with minimal interference)
Except it’s Ridgid was never drawn out or part of a much longer wire, the only similarities it has is it’s conductive and all metal is conductive.
