The use of spray foam on the underside of the roof sheathing is different altogether, and of course has it's own benefits and problems. Actually The Villages did build some homes with the spray foam in one neighborhood a few years ago, then returned to the use of R-38 insulation above the ceiling.
We had cell phone issues when we moved in this house six years ago but after inquiring about it we were switched to another tower and it helped but then the problem suddenly went away. The reason TV went away from the spray foam insulation was probably related to $$$$
