Why do we still use concrete and asphalt for our roadways? Why have we not found a better material that is less prone to potholes and always feels smooth to drive on?

I remember reading an article about India melting down waste plastic and using that for roads. The article mentioned they’ve only been installed for about 10 years but show no potholes or serious signs of west even under heavy loads (weight and volume). I couldn’t find specific costs but it seemed like it require new and specialised equipment to make and install the “plastic-tar” (as it’s referred to) so I’d imagine without the government mandate it would not be financially viable
