That’s all true, but stones are also much harder to transport, weigh more, are harder to acquire then wood, and are significantly more expensive then wood. That’s why masonry is much more common in Europe as opposed to the US as Europe has plenty of quarries in close proximity to all its population centers while the United States does not.

On the other hand, much of Europe has extremely limited wood so people turned to stone.

It’s just basic supply and demand, and what’s easier and cheaper to access.
