ABS? Is it a manufactured home? The subfloor cutout is needed to make room for the drain.

No, it was built in 1976, i have not seen the plumbing done in such a way as to see light in the basement from the bathroom upstairs.
one of those picky things I thought the plumbing should have been done better. |

Looks like standard operating procedure to me. We don't have basements but the sub-floors are always cut out like that.

Most of the drain cutouts i see are about that size. The tub doesn't rest on the floor there, other than aesthetics, potential draft, and eliminating potential rodent access I wouldn't call it a problem.

If the basement is unconditioned, then they should fill the voids with insulation.
