If it’s not built to code to code it can pose all sorts of safety hazards to your neighbours or future owners of your property. If you don’t bother getting approval you didn’t bother building it properly either.
At the slightly more silly end, your shed could lower the value of the neighbours property (because it looks like a meth lab, or just a general hillbilly grotto) and the law holds financial harm higher than physical harm most of the time.
Edit: also it’s not just you, it’s any meth head who decides to build their own shed. Laws need to cater for the lowest common denominator.
If it’s not to code, just tear it down before selling the place. A not up to code shed on your own property isn’t a threat to your neighbors unless they’re trespassing on your property. Arguing that it shouldn’t be allowed because it looks bad is the real-estate equivalent of trying to pass a law to force women to smile at all times so that men have eye candy.
