Does anyone know why the “sears catalog” model of homebuilding no longer works today?

  matt risinger features precut lumber packages. it still exists for custom builds but generally tract homes are built as simply as possible. It does feel like buying a plan online should come with a material package but no one offers this to my knowledge. Home Depot and lowes did catalogues where you would buy the components from them out of a book there isn't much accountability for waste in construction and wood has been cheap compared to other costs
