Rock has the advantage of being cheap and plentiful. Whatever damage occurs can be fixed with on hand materials.Rock isn't really that useful for orbiting space stations. It would be difficult to construct the proper architecture that is required to provide protection against micro meteorites. Big thick slab walls are actually not that great for high speed collisions.
