I see the confusion here. Your mixing well engineered with modern.
I see houses all the time that are brand new construction or within the last 10 to 15 years perhaps all the way back to 08. The materials used are not what they used to be, regulations have gotten tighter and to cut costs contractors are building lesser quality homes. Everything creaks, is loose, cheap particle board and cheap plywood.
There is very little pride in craftsmanship in Contrustion, Contractor Work. Raw materials are of weaker quality and higher cost. If anyone is looking for quality housing look for pre 2008 homes. While this isn't a blanket statement, it covers 80 percent or more of modern housing that isn't concrete.
No I'm not confused about that. I have seen the problems you talk about. That's why I felt the need to qualify modern with "well engineered".
