Jokes aside, why are many American homes build so woody?

Found a quick little example of how I know walls are build here, at least this is how we use to build them when i was working construction
An inner wall, isolation for heat and outer wall
Ofc this isn't useful for walls inside the house
These are also connected with simple metal pins every x cm
@stux in California at least, brick buildings are not allowed to be built because of earthquakes. Any brick buildings you see are either really old or more likely, it's just a brick facade
