The extra 2x4’s are drywall nailers.

Its amazing the lack of craftsmanship in new construction these days, not to mention obvious details. Its all about time and money.

I was in a 1MM+ house not to long ago that was spec built and on the market. My 1978 house was built way better. You could see the scarf lines in trim (not to mention not using full length pieces on about a 6' run (either lazy or too cheap for another couple bucks....) one electrical box was cut too large and you could see the small gap around the plate cover, hardwood floor gaps....and I wasnt even looking for issues. 

Its like the workers just don't have the skill set or care to do a nice job.

Both....they lack self-esteem and pride in workmanship.

I saw that method of installing drywall in some magazine a few years ago. The drywall does not break on a stud or joist. You back up the seam with 1x material. They said it made a better invisiable joint. I call BS.
