How do you do this? Metal drill a pilot hole and then have to insert an anchor?

Wooden studs were so much easier back when I was in a house.

It's funny but we were talking to construction company about mounting TVs in our office which also has steel studs and they said they don't even bother with this. They just glue a big piece of plywood to the wall, screw into the drywall, and then attach the TV mount to this rather than anchor in the metal studs?
