All buildings are a set of tradeoffs. To build structures that are proof against certain things requires sacrificing other things (aesthetics and cost being two obvious ones). So we have a set of compromises that meet the majority demand to a satisfactory degree and we have additional mechanisms (insurance and panic rooms being two obvious ones) to deal with situations where we don't like changing the whole structure.
