They're like that in this apartment we're renting and I keep seeing them elsewhere. I don't get it.

I am so glad they wired it for a potential future light separate from the fan!

They sure skimped on a bunch of other stuff though, like a couple bathroom lights don't have proper mounting boxes because they didn't put a 2x4 in the right place and are just mounted to the drywall.

    Yeah that happens sometimes, although there is a possibility that a previous owner added a switch after the fact, and had to install a larger box. Some guys will screw a nail-on box to the original mounting stud, but it's just as easy to add an old work box (the ones with the mounting wings) and call it a day.
