I would think this would have to be the case vs the ease of just glassing a couple of large sheets of ply. Even if they were getting the ply wood scraps for free I don't think they would be saving.
When you get water intrusion from a screw hole in parquet it ruins 1 square. When you get water intrusion from a screw hole in a sheet of plywood it eventually ruins the whole sheet.
