Could be worse, could be all metal conduit, threaded into the fittings, and needing half a mile* of other stuff removing before you get back to that one. Of course, I'm guessing they've used male adapters rather than female adapters with bushes.

In this case it's male adaptors with lock rings both sides and there's another 5 of these fittings 2m apart probably all connected the same way, with singles for another lighting circuit running uninterrupted through all of it....
But yes, at least it isn't galv....!
 
Lucky. We were recently working on an installation in PVC conduit, no adaptors used, just a plastic lock ring glued on to the conduit either side of the boxes/trunking. :(

Male pvc adapters are terrible. Badly designed with terrible lock rings and, for the most part, much less practical than their female counterparts. I dislike them intensely.
