I'm guessing it's somehow related to leaking. It's always about leaks.
What's the reason? Are domes bad to live in, or just hard to build?

Nope to leaks. "Buckminster Fuller's former student J. Baldwin insisted that no reason exists for a properly designed, well-constructed dome to leak, and that some designs 'cannot' leak."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodesic_dome …

Both - compound curvature is annoying to build, and the volume in a dome is poorly used. The right metric is "floor space with at least X feet of clearance above it" not internal volume, and flat roofs are better for that.

Standard / modular furniture is also way easier if everyone's working with flat walls than a whole spectrum of wall curvatures.

For one, the interior needs to be almost entirely custom built otherwise you have quadrilateral furniture/fixtures that waste alot of space in a rounded building.

Construction, furniture, casework, just about everything involved in building and furnishing a domicile is calibrated to right angles

Furniture and fixtures tend to be rectangular.
