yes I agree. not really necessary to tank a shower as the water doesn't really sit on the tiles unless of course it isn't tiled correctly in the first place. a couple of years ago I had to redo a shower where the grout had failed massively soaking the wall on both sides. so much so that I had to hire a dehumidifier for a week to dry it out. when redoing it I used hardi backer board to tile onto, grouted and sealed properly it hasn't leaked since.

I always tile on cement based backer board. Tiling on plaster board may have been ok in the past for gravity feed showers, but with any reasonable pressure feed shower the enclosure needs to be upgraded or it will eventually break down.

i only use plastic pvc wall panels now, given up the tiling lark.
those panels are 100% water tight if done right and easy to change later years-like wall paper!
