. 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?

Nose reduction. Better contractors do it.

It also helps keep the shower wall from feeling ice-cold when you lean
your bare butt against it. The first 30 seconds of hot shower water
warms up the surface pretty well, and having insulation behind it keeps
that heat from dissipating as fast. It makes a real big difference when
you insulate around soaking tubs, as well.
