We don’t build pyramids anymore because we got better at building shit. Ramses II was out there commissioning shit that the pyramid builders couldn’t imagine being able to have built. And he could never imagine buildings of steel and glass built anywhere we feel like. Just try explaining Mexico City to these people. When we want massive monuments to hubris a pyramid is too simple for it usually unless we go with a glass and steel one. Also because it’s an inefficient use of space

Also, most countries don’t honor their politicians as god-kings. Maybe US hillbillies will (try to) build a pyramid when Trump finally dies.

Yeah, like cuboids which are mostly air inside for big box retailers.
