Why is it that in construction projects, digging is always done from the ground level downward?

Why is it that construction projects always involve digging downward from the ground surface? Instead of filling it from the ground level up? Is cost being taken into consideration? Which type of construction has higher costs?
In rural areas, the method of building single-story houses is to compact the foundation and then build upwards: lol. The foundations of tall buildings sometimes require pile foundations that reach the rock layer
Big bro, if the foundation isn’t solid, no amount of filling on top will help.
The filled soil is loose, and the soil on the surface is also loose. It becomes stronger as you go lower. Digging through the Earth is another matter
The deeper you dig, the stronger it becomes? Dig down to the water level?
