The walls of these new homes are built offsite and constructed onsite with a crane. 1 benefit would be a solid wall for insulation purposes and another would be wind resistant, but you would still need to insure them because the windows and especially the roofs can get damaged in tornadoes and hurricanes.
These factory constructed walls are nothing new. I looked into using ISP walls on my 1985 custom home in the north which have superb insulating qualities over stick built.
I also heard that TV is cutting back on major changes that you can do to a house plan, takes longer to build and a more specialized crew is needed
