At least they are not making many cuts. Our last home was fairly big, and it only had two wooden beams in the house. One in the basement, and one for the vaulted cieling upstairs. So that would have meant just 2 cuts, on a house where the builders probably spent 2 to 4 weeks getting the frame and main part of the building put in place.
Some framers just use a small chainsaw to do the same exact thing.
My guess is that the oiler is purposely avoided, to eliminate the risk of getting oil on the wood that would prevent primer and paint from sticking to the wood. They probably figure that wasting the piece of equipment after a certain number of cuts, is a reasonable cost of doing business.
