Why do they do that? ... Cutting corners generates more profit.
Also common do-it-the-cheapest-way things that are super cheap to do properly, or with quality parts, while house is under construction, but are costly after walls are painted...
Using push-pull water shut offs, and a plastic main water shutoff. Lack of outside outlets on all sides of the house. Using substandard appliances. No insulation above garage and lanai ceilings. No blocking in the walls for mounting TVs, grab bars, or curtains. One lever water shutoff for washer. A dryer vent connection recessed into the wall. A water overflow pan under the washer (that drains outside). Cabinetry too shallow for standard depth refrigerators. Crabgrass. Skimping on the number of irrigation zones. Gutters. No prewire for security systems. No surge protection for incoming power and cable feeds. Double hung windows that have only one window that can open. Lack of storage such as a pantry, shallow garage depth, etc.
So many missing things are omitted that you cannot see, or don't notice.
