That “modern” architectural style where you get houses that often have flat roofs, blocky structures, large glass walls and the rest usually white plaster or unpainted wood (idk the name but I think most people have seen it and I see people hating on it more often than not. I dont mean brutalism since what im talking about doesn’t usually have unpainted concrete everywhere but it looks maybe related) looks pretty good actually. Not every example sure, but in general I find the aesthetic pleasantly futuristic looking.

I, too, enjoy blocky architecture. Though it’s kind of impractical, large glass walls are a large issue in the summer (assuming they’re not on the north side) and AFAIK flat roofs have relatively expensive upkeep.

  Large glass walls are better applied if they have photogrey technology built in so that when light hits them from one side, they tint. I have only ever seen this in hotel lobbies.

I think I've heard that being called "scandi", recently.

those apartment/houses are so ugly and bland, plus constantly building these types of buildings prices people out eventually

  Is the architectural style inherently more expensive than houses with traditional roofs, or is it just that people who build expensive houses often choose this style?

I think you’re describing Neomodern architecture, which basically continues what has been established by the 1980s corporate style. However, the term seems to mostly be used for office buildings and such, rather than apartments and houses.
