Default Construction Adhesive Nightmare

Why in the hell would anyone use construction adhesive and nails for panel?

I'm removing old paneling in my basement and replacing with drywall. I
reach an area of the base where the past owners used CA along with panel
nails and it's a MFing nightmare to remove. I have to use a scraper and
hammer to pry it away from the stud. I can't think of any easy way to
remove it without scraping.

Anyone ever experience a similar issue?

Construction adhesive is normally used when installing
paneling over sheet rock. I don't know about over
studs, but I expect that even if you don't need it a lot of
people would just go along with the standard procedure.
