The trick with that kind of construction is that while nice, it’s really slow and expensive to build. At least right now, and in a way that’s finished and well-lit enough for people to accept.
Wood frame is dominant in North America because it’s really cheap and fast. In the UK it’s brick, because it’s second best without using wood they don’t have nearby.

My favorites have been dirt-inspired builds utilizing technology found in the animal Kingdom beyond humans. Termites are often cited.
Buildings that have natural AC regardless of the season and mostly passively. Ventilation structure that encourages heat sink/release.
And many are made of just dirt, which seems pretty smart. Enormous insulation values. Endless supply.
