Kalakoa, I will say that, in response to your readily availability test, that it takes longer to get a permit than it does to deliver ordered materials. And that since our products are precut to the design there is little or no waste. Waste costs money.
aramis720, Can't say how well cob would work in an area with heavy rainfall. Unfired clay would be subject to damp in my opinion. Clay really isn't found in Puna. There may be clays of some type elsewhere but than immediately means finding it, buying it, loading it and trucking it. Each act costs money. I would guess that cob evolved somewhere where the ingredients were on site and likely a drier climate.

Assume the best and ask questions.
