No reason as far as I can see that he couldn't have mounted that trap closer to the floor above so as not to give you a loud dripping noise as the drops accelerate to warp speed before hitting the water in the trap. "The trap shall be placed as close as possible to the fixture outlet. The vertical distance from the fixture outlet to the trap weir shall not be more than 24"."

Not in the more recent UPC code books out here on the West Coast.
On the 24" vertical. I saw a tub hooked up with a long tail piece like that. When the tub drained, it would siphon the p-trap dry. A shorter distance prevents that.
And yes, where is the vent for the shower on that picture?
