Uh, no? There's an modernist neighborhood near my home and most are like, "medium class" while the only Brutalist building here is a Office building. This is like saying that only Rich people care about being healthy or personal hygiene

Not really, you just have to actually look around instead of focusing on what confirms your own biases

Not necessarily. That may be applicable for some places, but all architecture is colored by a style. I live in New England, where the rich and poor alike live in similarly styled New England townhouses and capes. The difference is only down to size, and whether or not you live in an urban project. The Midwest has a whole bunch of farmhouses, California has those iconic thin-walled flats, etc. I'm not all that knowledgeable on architecture in general, but most rich people live in simply bigger versions of the dominant architectural style, simply because it's the most efficient and aesthetically pleasing form of dwelling. The difference is only really in interior design.

These styles might find their most extreme expression in government buildings and rich people houses. But there certainly is a style to common houses. Which can at least in some instances, participate in the styles you describe. Of course this may be more true in some parts of the world. I doubt you could say there could be art deco or modernist slums in brazilia

Regular cheap homes have little effort put into a style. Rich people are a different case. Why those styles are liked is a different question.

Rich people are always gonna have nice houses. Looks at mediaeval Europe. Everyone lived in a hut with a straw roof and all the rich people lived in castles

Literally Nothing here
Have you noticed how all these architecture styles like "modern" or "brutalist" or "Gothic" only really apply to rich people's homes while most normal people either live in standard box house No.45299 or grey soviet blocs or inside metal shacks or in the traditional rural homes in villages.
