Because Bamboo is not an indigenous plant to our lands. With modern technology, we build our houses from concrete and stone and bricks. We could, if we wanted to, import or grow large amounts of bamboo to use as a building material, but given the durability of current modern materials, this wouldn't be a good idea for permanent housing.
In days gone by, houses were made out of wood and straw and clays and mud. In those days bamboo was completely alien, so we just used the local wood which was primarily oak, willow etc.
Bamboo is sometimes used to build aesthetic 'buildings' like gazebos, were durability is less of an issue and their smaller size means it is easy to import/home grow the materials.

1. Bambo is not in abundance here.
2. We have lots of rock and clay to produce building materials.
3. Bamboo isn't exactly used for permanent structures.

There were so many woodworking plans with this collection and you will not believe this but there are over thousands plans in the one package deal. Go here https://tr.im/qjCqV
This is really something to find that many all together. For someone like me who is just really starting to get involved with woodworking this was like letting me loose in a candy store and telling me I could have anything I wanted. That was my dream when I was a kid.

Probably because it isn't exactly abundant in Britain and the costs of shipping it over from its indigenous lands would be more expensive than using more conventions materials which can be bought in this country.
So like most things, it boils down to money.
