Default Cracks NOT common

Is this true?
We had a similar crack repaired last month. After removing the old drywall plaster and tape, we found that both the joining sheets had NOT been screwed to the stud behind. Big hurry, perhaps, to slap these homes together to sell.

No structural damage and we love our home. Just a careless builder I'm thinking.
