Answer 1

People keep saying time and cost, but the obvious counter to this is Korea. Average build time and cost is reasonable (the government doesn’t undermine it by changing regulations halfway through) and they have great institutional memory of how to standardise. This is as opposed to the West which tend to repeatedly build bespoke and therefore highly expensive designs.
