I disagree, lots of things are much cheaper and worse.

Clothes are much cheaper and far worse. Power tools are generally a lot cheaper bit also built to break.

Houses are somehow more expensive AND lower quality though.

Lower quality? Modern houses here (Canberra, Australia) typically have all the energy stars (compared to my '70s place's half a star), are much larger and are proof against termites

A 2026 house beats mine in every respect

That’s the only good thing about them. Other than that, I wouldn’t say they are constructed better, but I don’t know anything about Australian house construction. In America, you can find older homes with old growth forest woods in them that you can’t simply have in a house anymore because the trees simply don’t exist in circulation for obvious reasons.
