New construction with sand-lime brick + ETICS - Criticism?!

Is it then called legacy

And even if disposal costs 500 euros/ton.... a single-family house weighs at most 2 tons.

a standard "city villa" weighs about only 1 ton with an average insulation thickness...

The reinforcement and plaster etc. are rather the problem, but you have these in any case, whether EPS, mineral wool, or even without ETICS

I'll throw in a few advantages that, in my opinion, the double-shell masonry has:

-low maintenance, most light plaster facades look unattractive after just a few years
-better sound insulation
-slightly improved heat storage
-not gnawed by animals
-resistant to impact and vandalism

The much more interesting fact is that Styrofoam is banned as insulation in the EU, but in Germany a special regulation applies so that the industry can make a nice profit.

Does not change the fact that EPS is suitable as an insulating material and also fulfills this in D.

One does not always have to go with the flow... meaning the EU

Doesn't change the fact that EPS is suitable as insulation material and also meets these requirements in Germany.

Hi,
mh, yes exactly, pizza also has calories and makes you full. (...thus it is also suitable as food)

Honestly, who would glue such hazardous waste to their house. But WVS is, in my opinion, the worst thing you can do, there's no need to "sugarcoat" it.
