You can't really say that in general.
In our demolition, a lot of wood was untreated.
Allegedly, this is not necessary if it was cut at a certain moon phase, during a specific season. (say the old woodworms from the village and my grandpa also swore by it - and the condition of the barn seemed to prove him right)
That might still work if you’re cutting trees in your own forest, but it doesn’t work industrially and affordably. If insulation and stuff gets involved, it’s over.
Weak points in the old half-timbered construction were always where modern building materials like Styrofoam wallpaper, PVC flooring, etc. were used.
