I hate the sky light in the shower too, mostly because of heat and A/C loss but it's there for two good reasons, to help cut down on mold growth and to light up shower stall

While I have never had mold growth in my shower so I do not know about this, but on our 2016 Atlanta build, we are leaving out the skylight and having two LED puck lights installed in place of it. Bingo, that takes care of the loss of natural light. I see this as a win/win. No skylight to lose a/c or allow heat in, no opening for water to intrude from the roof, still have light in the shower.
We placed one of those silver insulated heat reflectors over the opening of our skylight on the inside not long after we got it. Now after nearly 4 years it is still in place. I always check it, but this will be one less thing to worry about on the new rig.
