Technic 2019

Yep! You have also to consider that not all model builders are able to author a part or sticker. In addition such projects are long runners. It took almost a year and half to get the 10246 - Detective’s Office done 'cos of a few missing parts.

The other problem is that most stickers (and to a lesser extent, patterns) are not so reusable, so it is less "useful" to model them, compared to create a new shape that can be used in other sets, MOCs, etc...
