Default Insulation in interior wall around shower stall - why?

So I am removing the sheetrock in pieces small enough that I can put
them back with minimal patchwork when I'm done - hopefully. As I open
up the wall behind the shower stall, I find that it is stuffed full
of insulation. Is this normal, typical, or even expected? Is there
any reason to put insulation in an interior wall simply because there
is a shower stall on the other side?

Hi,
Sound proofing?


Not sure - the other side of a wall is another bathroom, so sound proofing
might not be that critical.

Maybe a question I should ask is: is there any reason to put the insulation
back when I'm done?
