Why roof tiles exist. I understand why we don’t have flat roofs, but why do we have hundreds of tiles that sort of overlap each other and can be pulled or blown off easily?
Why aren’t roofs like a giant tent, still A shaped but each side is just a big sheet of whatever weatherproof material we got?

Making a single sheet for each roof is more expensive.
You need to make a single sheet. Custom fit it to each roof. Transport the single giant sheet somehow. If it breaks you need a whole new sheet.
Small tiles are infinitely scalable, no need to customize the size for each roof, and if a couple break you can easily replace them.
