From a bricks and concrete and steel perspective, wooden-framed houses with drywall interiors certainly have many advantages, for example far easier infrastructure maintenance - a lot of the piping and wiring remains openly accessible or is just in drywall. If you need to replace a leaky pipe in an european house, you're going to absolutely wreck the room. If you need to replace the wiring or want to pull new wires (e.g. network or CATV), well there is no pulling new wires. Only wrecking the rooms with a wall chaser. Remodeling seems way easier. Also central ventilation being quite common, while essentially impossible to retrofit into a brick and mortar house.
This is certainly true, but one thing I've found a pain in the ass is that every era has a texturing technique that nobody in the future can figure out.
My house now has a knockdown texture, and I've had four people(including myself and 3 pros) try to match it and fail.
So while accessing the plumbing in the wall is super easy, you can also easily tell someone accessed the plumbing in the walls.
Because Americans are rich and American construction workers have to be paid a competitive wage. If you could somehow teleport third world workers into the US at the start of their shift and teleport them out at the end of it, so they weren't exposed to American cost of living, you could pay them very little.
