Could be they're billed as "temporary" for legal reasons. Another thing to consider is there's a lot of "temporary" housing from the post-WWII era that's still in great shape.

My university housed chunks of departments it didn't like in one of those buildings. The cyber-security club located its infrastructure (racks of old servers) in the center of the building in a vain attempt to make it settle as fast as the perimeter of the building.

It always starts as temporary and then they will petition for it to become permanent.
