I have seen on online home renovation vidoes that people in US houses in India/Pakistan/Bangladesh/Middle East are made of bricks/concrete.

Wood as a construction material is way cheaper, and likely has lower labor costs as well. Additionally, wooden buildings can be transported. I’m not entirely sure if this is how it’s done in some suburbs, or I’m just imagining it, but I believe some places/new developments have houses pre-fabricated, then shipped out to locations, which explains where houses in some areas look so identical. I might be wrong on that part, but I have seen houses on giant trucks before so I know they are mobile.
As far as say, India or the Middle East is concerned, availability of materials might be one factor.
