Not at all. I'm just saying there are alternatives such as the
pieces
of plastic cutting board and oiled hardwood blocks.

I do think the use of a $100+ ball bearing at the top of our towers
is overkill to the extreme. But I also wonder how much a similar
sized piece of lignum vitae would cost? $100+ maybe??
Teak is good for outdoor use, and is probably cheaper. Plastic
cutting boards are definitely cheaper. So they wear out in 10 years
or so... use a couple more pieces of the cutting board, if you can
find it after 10 years.
