It is easy to build outlet structure(spillway) in concrete dam rather than fill dam.

Over 40,000 dams higher than 45 ft (15 m) and classified as large dams exist, and more than
half of these have been built since 1960
16% of them are in the United States and 52% are in China; 83% are fill dams used primarily for
water storage, and the remaining 17% are concrete or masonry dams with multiple purposes.
Dams that generate hydroelectric power produce 20% of the electricity in the world.
Fill dams may be a far older construction technique than concrete or masonry dams, but the
oldest surviving dam is Sadd el Kafara about 20 mi (32 km) south of Cairo, Egypt
