 Shingle install.

That is the work of amateurs, and you are right to call it. Anything more than the correct exposure is too much, IMO.
There's also a good chance they screwed up other stuff and didn't use underlay, either.

If the courses are stretched so far that the fasteners won't be able to catch the top of the *lower* shingle, then they're spaced too far apart. On 3-tabs, pretty much any stretching will put you over that limit because you only have about 1/2" of nailing zone to begin with.
The shingles in your picture are only held down by half as many fasteners as they should be.

That's not a very steep pitch. I suspect that's a leaker whenever there snow melting up there.

You should not be able to see the top of the key of the lower shingle below the upper shingle.
