The US makes homes with wood while the rest of the world uses cement blocks. Are there any added benefits over either?

Wood is plentiful in most areas making it cheap to use.
wood is relatively light and sturdy making it easy to work with and strong enough to support the structure
Wood is native to the areas where it is used making it a lasting material
“The rest of the world” might be a bit over simplified…..ever seen both ancient and modern homes in Japan?? What about the islands near the equator
