Isn't the point more that regardless of whether it's by accident or design, sheds do sometimes burn down and they don't want your shed setting fire to your neighbour's house/shed/cat/etc. if it does go up?
If some guy builds a shed right up against the back of his neighbour's house, and then goes out in the middle of summer to oil a load of wood, stuffs the rags in the bin against the wall and then leaves, the fact that he never intended to set his shed on fire is cold comfort to the neighbour whose house was burned down while he was on holiday...
