Yes, a winner.

Billy, the easiest way to remember that line is to think: If the house is above US I-10, *ALL* of the pipes outside the thermal envelope need to be insulated, supply, waste, and vent.

If the house is below I-10 ... no problemo.

I-10 runs approximately along the line given by the cities listed in the Plumbing Appendix.

I pointed this out as Robert, and the original photo, are in SC, which is quite a ways above I-10.

In other words ... Robert should not have been able to see that waste and vent, it should be insulated and then boxed in, whereby the exposure to UV becomes a non-issue.
