Agreed, that's oddly short-sighted. Here's an example in Poissy, the birthplace of king Saint Louis and just a random Parisian suburb today.
They call it "Villa Savoye", a single-family detached home designed by Le Corbusier himself, built from 1929 to 1931 for a well-off family that had some kind of avant-gardish taste back then.
That simple little thing is worldwide famous today. Some architecture students from all over the world come to visit it as an original piece of design. It is simply and by far the main attraction of Poissy, random suburb of Paris and birthplace of kind Saint Louis who's definitely like the only fair king France ever had, among dozens of them French kings through history.
