I currently have my foot leaning against some drywall and am tilting back in my chair. Not at all worried about it breaking. I can bounce about as much as I can without falling and it’s solid.
We use it because it’s cheaper, faster, pretty durable, easy to repair and paint, a decent insulator, sound blocker and most importantly fire resistant.
For almost all uses it’s a better material.
It’s less common where houses are older than the 50s.
They’re made of gypsum most often, so they’re fragile but not that fragile. I don’t know that I’ve ever accidentally broken drywall.
