Why are lipids good for making cell membrane

The lipids create a lipid bilayer which is a universal component of all cell membranes as its role is very critical because its structural component provides the barrier that marks the boundary of the cell.

Lipids are good for making the cell membrane because they are stronger and block out things that should not be getting in out, for instance lipids mainly only let water and gases pass through.
