This is clearly a house still under construction/refurbishment. The floors look newly installed, there is loose wiring hanging from the ceiling for a new fan/lighting fixture, the frame on the biggest window isn't painted yet, I think I still see scratch protection film on the sliding glass doors, and the tub is still covered in plastic. I highly doubt the intention is to leave it and install it there. Almost certainly, it is just sitting out of the way while they installed new flooring before they bring it in the to the bathroom for install. Someone else in the comments posted another photo where you can see it is sitting on cardboard too.

Edit: I actually opened the listing and saw the description and more photos. I stand corrected. Bafflingly, this was the final spot for that tub, it was intentional and they are advertising it like a cool feature. Smh. Still don't know why it is covered in plastic wrap.

Did you read the description in the link?

No. Didn't see that they were specifically advertising that as a feature. Well ok then. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, but they are clearly morons. Still not sure why it is covered in plastic wrap.
