Again, those 2 are smaller than half the size of the random steel skyscraper I’m comparing it against. I could make a 1m tall sandcastle and claim sand is great at building castles. IDK if skyscraper has a formal definition, but I think you’re missing the point.

Something being cool does not make it objectively better. Of course, we don’t have to do everything the same way. Maybe the builders of the buildings had unique constraints that made wood better than steel in their case. Or maybe they did so for artistic reasons, which they deemed worth the cost or not using steel. Or maybe they just put an arbitrary constraint of themselves of “we must use wood because we want to”.

Tall buildings made out of wood existing does not mean that it is a good default choice for building skyscrapers.

Sure, you claim that there are actual skyscrapers planned/being developed. But I wonder what sacrifices, if any, they had to make.

Maybe we have been using steel all this time because nobody ever thought of wood. But I find that unlikely.
