All the classrooms at my school used to be prefab. I think they stopped since they started roasting all the kids in summer time.

The name was poisoned by the shitty product. Now they sell the same shitty product under different names to convince people it is different. They are called 'manufactured housing; now.

At least 1/3rd of the price on OPs pic is in those windows.
A barndo would be cheaper and just as energy effecient.

Literally every complaint you could possibly have about a McMansion applies to this shit. Then add on the issues unique to prefabs, like limited ability to alter your own home once you own it (b-but it's modular! Congrats, you now have proprietary add-ons that only the base company can provide). Then add on the fact that these were all made like shit and amounted to fancy mobile homes, were terrible at retaining or dissipating heat as needed, had storage like fucking RVs, etc.

Absolutely no reason to get shit like this. McMansion for poors with terrible taste.

They still exist
Also there is no land to put them on anymore, so the market is dwindling.
