Default Wiring Basement

The NEC rules have nothing to do with my preferences, but they are pretty
specific about the requirements for various types of locations. People are
well within their rights to use those requirements to their advantage

The NEC doesn't require "finished" areas to meet any particular outlet
spacing. It requires "habitable" rooms to meet these outlet requirements.
Regardless of how he may plan to use the room, if it doesn't meet the
criteria for "habitable" which sometimes requires specific ceiling
heights,
and multiple methods of egress, this can just be a glorified storage space
with however many outlets he feels like installing

Know a lot of people who put five receptacles and half a dozen pot
lights into a storage space??

Get a life, you nit-picking a***.
