It's only necessary if you think you can't make it through without that bigger room you need to warehouse your junk until you die.
My precast home is plenty big for retired people and I call it a vault because all winter the temp inside ranged from 68 to 70 with no heating or AC. That said....stick built is not an option unless that's your only option.

Precast wasn't an option in TV until a couple of years ago.
