I agree...the dude who did my new shop building was a "smooth operator". It was like watching a dance of sorts.

It really depends upon the jurisdiction where the building is, but I agree that in general, a detached accessory structure gets less scrutiny around things like insulation. For example, I have about an R15 minimum in the walls and about an R21 minimum up top with the closed cell spray foam in my new shop building. If this was a residence or had plumbing that could make it convertible to a residence, my jurisdiction would not accept the R21 up top because that's far below the current standard for ceiling/roof insulation for this geography. But that's not the case with my "residential accessory building"...and they don't even care that the foam is exposed and not coated.
