I mostly agree, but saying nobody ever sculpted in marble is a bit like saying nobody ever painted with oil paint because most of the most well known oil paintings were done according to sketches made with charcoal or pencil.
The finished sculpture is made of marble, and thus it was sculpted in marble. Not at first perhaps, but eventually
Of course there are still sculptors around! Like most art sculptures have gotten more abstract tho. Visit any museum of modern Art and you are sure to find some!
Marble and the like are of course incredibly expensive, and for that reason most people stick to more affordable options like wood or ice. Or do additive sculpting with clay/plaster, welding or something like that. If you really want to work with stone you might want to apprentice with a stonemason.

And yet, what choice do we have but to build them and to hope we never have to use them?
Many forms of powerplants use these types of cooling towers. The real reason usually is, that they make really impressive plumes though. Just makes for a good visual even though it’s not technically a relevant image.
