There are many advantages to using plywood:

• It comes in a standard size (4 feet x 8 feet is the common size in the U.S.)
• It is very cheap considering the size of the boards
• It is a very strong wood
• It is very stable (warping and shrinkage isn't much of a problem)

Really, if plywood did not exist, builders would end up making the same size pieces of wood from a collection of flat boards. The result would be a much higher cost for a finished product that isn't as safe or stable.
