True, but they use less bricks than a straight wall of the same strength, because the straight wall would have to be thicker or have buttresses. So it depends what you’re doing - does the wall have to withstand that kind of loads or not?

If you want the brick wall to last, and you aren't building it on either bedrock or a deep foundation ($$$) - then your three choices are (1) build it to withstand substantial horizontal loads, (2) pay more for regular maintenance, and (3) wall will topple due to forces from normal soil movement.
