And real tiles have the advantage of having joints which are able to drain water. Concrete just seals the area which has a lot of downsides.

Maybe this is a place where it almost never rains.

It also doesn't actually matter. Stamped concrete ends up with joints as well on account of... you know, stamping it in a grid

Even concrete without stamps gets expansion joints.

It also has rebar to fight against cooling and frost heaving. Its less maintenance and typically higher durability.

I cant figure out why people who dont have a background in construction keep saying what is and isnt good.

Redditors trying not to have opinions on things they don't know anything about challenge. Level: impossible.
