What is the purpose of this? And why would it be tied to an interior option? Notwithstanding a Cowl Hood.

Thanks!

I always assumed it was fire suppression - -if an engine fire began the insulator would melt and smother the flames

Nope, no fire suppression - it just melts and makes a mess; it's a sound deadener.
