Your home seems to be the exception. Almost every home I've been in has minor cracking in the garage and lanai ceiling. Most of the time it's because the ceiling super heats in the summer months. Lori who owns "A Touch of Drywall", who specializes in drywall repair here in the Villages will not repair your garage or Lani ceiling unless you have insulation because of the heatng problems causing cracks. Now, it's possible some homes may be oriented so the garage and lanai are not in the hot sun during the hottest parts of the day which may be the reason why some don't crack.
