This is a noise reduction thing. It’s the same reason apartments only do hardwood on the ground floor. Your downstairs neighbors don’t want to listen to you moving around, and carpet is a great insulator and cushion.
Maybe. Though, there are a lot of solutions to dampen noise while using hard flooring.
(I also know plenty of apartments/condos in my area that use both or just hard flooring in my area)
