It's not a question of "perfectly horizontal"; stones in the core of many
pyramids slope inwards at an angle of 10-15 degrees, while those in the
corridors are 30 degrees or more.

The best point you made.
One may still speculate, though: the cost of the technology due to the
limited avaibility of starting material like the crushed limestone, the
magnesite/dolomite, natron would reserve the technology for exceptional
projects?
If there was enough starting material to build pyramids, that was certainly
enough for blocking a passageway within a pyramid.
I thought you were talking about using the technology in a different
project than a pyramid. Moreover, isn't it claimed that passageways are
casted?
