Problem is, plastic can be "dissolved" and then recycled, so why lock precious commodity as plastic in bricks for decades ?

That's only economical for a small fraction of plastics, we are sending a huge amount to landfill right now. The bar for turning into brick could well be smaller, in which case it could be done with plastic which would otherwise go to landfill.

I'm not sure what your argument is here - they are recycling waste plastic to have commodity value as a building material already
