The labor to build such a wall may dominate the savings in brick. But if you're building a brick wall, maybe you don't care much about either.
I wonder if this sort of structure could be built by 3D printing, say with concrete or even soil.

If that was your point, sorry for misreading you.
In the era in which these were commonly used, bricks were largely made on-site or very nearby. So you saved on labor twice - once to make the bricks, and again to place them.
