I have some decent ideas as to why, I’m asking mainly as a hopefully fun contribution here, and to maybe learn some interesting plumbing info!

Huge disclaimer that I’m not a plumber or even close to a plumber, but I did have a house and think about houses:
Isn’t the current “standard” plumbing PEX plumbing, which is basically just a bunch of hoses?
Like I think you’re on to something but the industry beat you to the punch 😉
Even now in some places repairs are done with cpvc. Op may be wondering why they didn’t choose hoses in the first place.
Oh, good point! Yeah, in our old house (copper plumbing) plumbers usually did repairs with cpvc, not sure why.
