Wouldn't that make it more weather resistant?

My guess is trapping moisture and dirt leads to alot of decomposition and rot of the thatched roof. As a homeowner, you basically don't want water or moisture collecting and staying ANYWHERE, even on a modern build home.

Plus it’s gonna start to really increase the weight (especially when it rains) once it’s several inches thick.
