You seem to conflate "good" with "cheap"; particle board is "just" cheap, it's not good.

Plywood will be stronger, lighter, and deal better with humidity, it is "better" as material on pretty much every measure.

Plywood is far more expensive.

Good, cheap, fast: pick any two.

For the price, particle board is good.
