As opposed to the high quality buildings being built now?
Well, building regs have come on somewhat in the last 150 years.
Fwiw, I'm not suggesting that it isn't preferable to use period correct materials, I'm just suggesting that it isn't always that practical and may not be the highest priority.
But as I'm wrong on a number of levels, I'll keep quiet now.

No offence but you are wrong on a number of levels. If you're undertaking repairs doing them properly will ensure the building functions properly and other repairs may be less likely (loss of brick face due to inappropriate cementatious mortars etc).
