It’s interesting - in Sweden, the vast majority of new homes are apparently prefab [1].

Aside from customer expectations for customizability in the US (and other countries) I believe regulations also contribute, with prefab homes actually requiring more robust construction than conventionally built homes.

Does that make them cheaper/better?

Sorry, to clarify, I think US regulations require this, with the net result that prefab becomes more costly than conventional construction in the USA.
