Lots of people can't change a light bulb much less build a home. Most of the cost of building one is labor - the underlying materials are actually pretty cheap. I've seen home kits for as low as $8k that includes the lumber, trusses, cabinets, siding, etc.

Maybe 15 years ago, not currently unless you’re talking about building a 700 sq ft tiny home

I’m not doubting you - I just don’t think I’m looking in the right places. But where have you seen these home kits ?

I say this having just built cabinets, an 8x12 shed, and a few other things where the lumber alone… for example, the subfloor for a room I redid the flooring in was $400 alone. But I may be buying things the wrong way and I would love to find a better way!
