My builder for the villa I bought 5 years told me the interior walls were 24 on center steel studs
There's nothing wrong with steel studs as the long the gauge used is strong enough and horizontal bracing is used. In my job as a carpenter doing commercial/industrial framing we used steel stud framing upward of 16 to 20 ft to ceiling deck. Double 5/8" drywall on both sides. Yes there are areas wood still needs to be used.
