Default Insulation in interior wall around shower stall - why?

. 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.

I can *totally* relate to that :-0. That alone is a good reason to put it
back when I'm done
