We have always been building houses with tile in them. The difference is that the market today makes it prohibitively expensive to go through the abstraction of labor hours to wages/savings to products.
But if you short-circuit the process and just do it yourself (and probably break a bunch of zoning codes), you can just get a house directly the way people did it for thousands of years.
