I have an analogy experience that happened to me recently.

In 2015 I bought this used tall computer desk from a second hand store. It worked really well for the laptops that I used on it.

Unfortunately, in the past year alone I burned thru 3 laptops due to carelessness of spilling water or coffee near them.

So this summer I decided to switch back to buying a desktop PC.

I had no LCD monitor, but a friend of mine said he had one he could give me.

The monitor is 20" and just fit on the desk.

One day as I was pressing the Shift key on the keyboard the screen did not light up. So I pressed the keys again.

Seconds later the whole desk came topping over to the right, towards my livingroom window.

Point is that in a similar way,, all the hollowcore and steel and glass that's being placed atop 40 year old piles that were meant for no more than a 20 storey building (based on 1974 drawings). It can only lead to a catastrophic failure at some point if something is not done soon.
