Default Bathroom ceiling

Hi
I removed the drywalls in the bathroom in my basement and also the drywall in the roof of that bathroom. I do not want drywalls. Now I see in the roof a wood (please see attached pictures / links). What is this used for? Can I remove it. I want the bathroom "unfinished" and I do not mind to see all the concrete and structural woods as I am planning to paint them and keep it that way. I appreciate any help in advance. Thank you so much.

No idea what kind of construction that even is. It looks like plywood that's
showing, what's above that? Seems odd that they would put up plywood and
then sheetrock over it. Also I see electrical cable that you're going to
have to deal with and what's the electrical contraption on the wall?
Regarding leaving it unfinished, you might want to check code as to what's
allowed for bathrooms and showers, especially if you intend to sell the
place some day.
