Whenever I go to Lowes, I always like to go by the lumber section (even when I'm not there for lumber) just to see how warped the dimensional lumber is. It's always a depressing experience.
Plywood is fine, but if you need anything you build to last, buy pressure treated at HD, or buy plain lumber somewhere else.
(I bought some 2x4s for a non-permanent project during the pandemic. It was so soft and wet that when I fired a railgun into one of the pieces, the nail went all the way through. That should not happen)
