People in construction know what they’re doing and in general know what they’re talking about.
Unfortunately, that excellently constructed home they spent so much effort on will still be sitting there in 5, 15, maybe 50 years from now. And all that time it’s definitely not getting all it’s proper maintenance, and will slowly be dropping in quality.
I doubt these buildings would go up hindenburg style, but after a decade or two of being lived in, fires will not be as easy to put out in a home like this.

That’s a human problem, not a problem with the material and would affect any home built with any material. Also, what kind of maintenance requires you to open up the walls?

Anything to support this besides your assumptions? Straw has been in use for a very long time and, generally speaking, this statement doesn’t hold up.
Uh, I don’t think so. But maybe you can teach me something. Do you have an example of a structure that is exposed to the elements and doesn’t need Amy maintenance? while providing good living xonditions of course.

a good material for a house will survive neglect.

What an absolutely ridiculous statement to make. I can only assume you’re trolling.
