How well would have buildings that were a few times taller hold up?

Diamond_Inya_Palace is still the tallest in Yangon. - Estimated to be about 122 m (400 ft) tall

The building heights in Yangon are even more limited than those in Honolulu or SD.

Several cities can be affected by earthquakes, but they still build up big and tall.

Of course Tokyo, Shanghai, HK, Seoul, Singapore, Kuala_Lumpur, Jakarta, Mumbai, Melbourne, Sydney, Ackland, LA, SF & Seattle, aren't afraid to build much taller structures, despite many cities being in an earthquake zone.

A building hasn't reached its full strength potential until the main part of the construction process is completed.

A building collapse during the construction process can be more dangerous, because of all the extra construction vehicles, machinery, materials and equipment.

Of course no building is indestructible from an earthquake, or other things.
