Eli5 why aren’t 2 story houses built with ramps instead of stairs?

Are they just not practical? They seems cheaper to build instead of elevators for wheelchair bound people.

Not only are they not practical (look at all the other responses on this thread) but they can be unsafe as well. Humans aren’t always the best at navigating less than level ground. Stairs allow for a level spot for every step. A ramp does not, allowing for a greater risk of falling.
