Almost everyone I know of that gardens at home just tills the soil they have available. Gardening soil isn’t cheap and they view it as an unnecessary expense. It’s especially hard to convince people in rural areas that just using the dirt out back can be harmful.
I grew up in the country and my grandparents never bought any soil, but God knows what they added to it. Arsenic used to be common in pesticides, for example.

When I lived in a private house with a garden, we would buy new soil EVERY YEAR. Because fuck all grows otherwise.

Well, I guess some people prefer to buy arsenic instead of soil…
At least there’s no aftertaste.
