Just replying to what I think is your objection, apologies if that's not what you meant.
I think the point being made was that a lot of things that we think of as outside our domain of expertise, and thus inaccessible, truly aren't.
It's worth attempting to construct the garden bed yourself, and you might find that it's not nearly as insurmountable of an obstacle as you'd imagined. In this particular case, treating the wood might have been part of the process of learning how to make the garden bed, as would using a saw, polishing the wood, etc.
