Yeah, I did the math at one point on using seacans for a few different projects and at least around here they weren’t at all competitive against stick-built structures. They’re easy to transport multi-modal. That’s what they’ve got going for them. If they didn’t need to be lifted by cranes and stacked, they could be cheaper (structurally weaker), but then they’d be useless for their intended use.
I do see them used a fair bit around here for job-site offices though, but that’s again using them roughly for their intended use: put it on an 18-wheeler, work out of it for a few months, and then pick it up and take it to the next place
