One reason the gas company likes to turn gas back on is that if you turn
back on too quickly there is a chance that could rupture the rubber
diafram
in the regulator. Be sure to always turn on slowly.

Actually, no.
Not unless they have a commercial system running more than 5lbs, and even
then, the regulators are built to handle more than that.
The reason the gas companies like to be there is to make sure that the new
install is safe. If you sold a product that most people on average didnt
understand but the BOOM factor, and you had unlicenced persons working with
it, would you not want to make sure it was safe?
One NG explosion in a neighborhood really hurts profits as everyone changes
over to electric.

Why didnt your plumber follow IBC and put a shut off valve at the

To save a nickel.
