Really depends where you live and who built the home. Most contractors in the Midwest still aren't sure about putting network cabling in and haven't heard of air exchangers. Seems like the drive is to save 50 cents wherever possible per PVC toilet flanges vs at least PVC and metal ones

Tight homes dont happen by accident. If the contractor is just getting by, they likely arent building a home that needs passive ventilation.

Finding out that the reason my toilet was wobbling was because multiple people thought PVC was okay to use structurally was infuriating.
