My house was built in the early 1980's and both upstairs bathrooms vent into the attic. Was skeptical also when I discovered it. The roof had a ridge vent as well as the vents on each end of the house to ventilate the attic space. Recently had the roof replaced and the new roof does not have a ridge vent but a low profile automatic electric fan with thermostat control was installed to come on at 120 degrees to pull hot air out and ventilate the attic space. The roofing company said the ridge vent was not taking enough hot air out of the attic causing premature deterioration of shingles from heat.
Codes and methods are always changing.
