Not to mention that polystyrene is very widely used as an insulation material for regular box-shaped houses today. Sure, not load bearing, but I would trust a wooden or concrete structure for load bearing much more than a polystyrene one, anyway.
(Not to mention that polystyrene does not have any of the sustainability – which is all the rage nowadays – benefits either)

It is actually used in load bearing applications as well, EPS parts can be made with up to 60 psi load carrying capacity (which borders on magic to me).
