Here are a few things to consider.

One, the home you live in was likely built by a person or company that was trying to make a profit.

Two, when your home was being developed and built, it probably upset a bunch of people. Both because something new was coming and because construction can be annoying.

Three, your home was built using materials and construction techniques that were readily available at the time. Some of those materials and techniques may no longer be practical.

Four, when your home was complete, somebody probably thought, "boy, they don't build them like they used to."

Five, the need for new housing doesn't stop just because you now have a home.
