Use an infrared thermometer to check the temperature at the ceiling. The temperature is likely a lot warmer up there. You may need to install a fan to push the heat back down. Natural convection!
I believe the company says it can be used in other areas of a house depending on local codes, but I would probably only recommend it for a garage due to the smell of the blue flame type heater. It could be overpowering in a smaller space.
I would suspect the drywall acts as a bit of a heat shield/fire break to protect the wood of the wall.

Drywall is considered a fire barrier
What info did you inspector want? From your experience could this be installed in a basement? What if you left it on for the entire winter?
Can you use this only in a garage?

No perfectly fine indoors. Ventless baby.
It’s not that it’s not a big enough heater for the space. The difference maker is insulation vs none. The heat is just escaping through the roof
Drywall is a fire resistant barrier. Hardybacker is even better.
