I would think that this level of density is more efficient because all the people are in one spot, no? You only have to bring the resources to one place. All the people that live there would still be living somewhere if the city wasn't like that, but the distribution of resources would require much greater efforts.
Are there not many? I'm not that familiar with how Tokyo is designed, it's hard to tell from the photo. They're definitely fucking up if they're not using the space to build dense housing for sure.

Why no apartment buildings though?

Looks like mostly single family housing to me.
If Tokyo was mostly single family homes it’d be even more impossibly gigantic
Edit - someone else here is saying it actually is; that’s wack
there are plenty of apartment buildings, this photo's extreme altitude flattens everything
