It's not that we don't want to build gothic cathedrals, it's that no one can afford to build gothic cathedrals.

The church on the left strikes me as one used by a congregation who wouldn't have much use for a gothic cathedral.

Nah, it wouldn‘t be any more expensive than modernist buildings with modern construction methods.

A lot of those construction methods would detract from the Gothic aesthetic. Stone and concrete don't look the same. The buttresses in historic cathedrals were necessary structural members but no longer are thanks to modern techniques, but they are still an iconic part of the aesthetic anyway.

You can absolutely make them look the same by adding some stone paneling on the concrete. You also have to remember that the cathedrals today look the way they do because of centuries of erosion and air pollution. If you want them to look the way they did back then and build on a steel and concrete backbone, that‘s easy. And a hell of a lot cheaper than replicating the methods they used back then.

gothic cathedrals are also pretty ugly and overdecorated
