I agree that sometimes counties have too many permits and requirements for rural areas but largely in any populated town, it makes sense to prevent off grid buildings. Similar to if you had a home without sewer hookups or permitted septic.
On the back feeding side, I am not sure. While in many areas it’s not as financially lucrative to add back to the grid, it also is a much more realistic number. For too long areas like CA had models that meant homes were not contributing to the transmission they could access and were being paid closer to retail rates instead of generation rates.
So I don’t think it’s quite as one sided as you paint it.
