I agree, old homes have hella survivorship bias. But, you are playing roulette that nothing with fail immediately. The advantage of new construction is that you don't have to worrru about any stupid retrofits and that you know nothing will break for at least a little bit.
Or worry about all of the asbestos, lead, and formaldehyde -laced building materials that were all of the rage in previous decades.
All the yummy stuff?
I think Formaldehyde is a bigger problem in new construction than old. Asbestos and lead are harder to deal with though. Formaldehyde just needs ventilation and a few years of offgassing.
Has not been my experience. Yea the builder will usually fix it but I've seen them try to weasel out of that too.
