Bogus reason. Plastic melt is also a non-Newtonian fluid and yet plastic parts production is thoroughly automated.

I’m not sure that tracks exactly. I think the issue is the stacking of very heavy things on top of a nnf goop.

The issue is that "buildings have been engineered to be built by humans".

So, the building tasks are set to be a compromise of materials and human skill.

If we want machines to build them, then we need different systems and materials.
