Wood is also very strong against wind if engineered correct. Both need something else to air seal as air will go through. Yes it is fire resistant, but unless your insulation and other building material is also fire resistant you gain nothing important: either way a fire will gut the house and need expensive work to repair. Wood is also a good insulator when paired with insulation.

Concrete is a useful material to build with. However it isn't the miracle that many advocates claim.
