Presumably landscapes with gentle gradients and fewer overhangs are going to be significantly easier to print than architecture.

That depends on the 3D printing technology. Some are perfectly fine with overhangs because the medium is self-supporting, and most can handle small overhangs at each vertical step without much trouble.
Why? Perhaps the one advantage of these expensive, "heirloom" trinkets is that most traditional molding limitations are no longer issues.
