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.

NOT COMMON

Typically a FAULT in Structural Integrity … appears to be shifting in the Ceiling Joists, as they are two separate and independent Framing Members

BUT may not be affecting the Roof Structure,

I have seen a lot of homes here and that kind of crack is not common.
