Here everything is done 
 with brick and cement, you don't need usually to do what you did. I 
 still wonder why americans (and other people) build houses all of wood :oO 
At one time wood was cheap. So was brick a very long time ago.

In many parts of the USA insulation is required as it's either very cold in 
the winter or very hot in the summer.  In some areas that seasonal change 
can be exteme.  Either way insulation can be easier to do with wood than 
brick or stone.

FYI: I never store anything fragile in my shed out back as hotter than 
54C in the summer and colder than -10C in the winter are all too common.

Those extremes are not good for electronics.
