Is this fucking seriously real? Are they too stupid to put a crown on the boards so that they don't do this? Am I doomed to brush water off the deck every time it rains now?

Buy a very large brush or squeegee to do the task faster. You can use a (battery operated) leaf blower as well.

Since forever. PVC is self extinguishing. Wildfire codes recommend pvc or composite decking within 5 feet of any structure.

isn't it better for wildfire protection if it retains water?

maybe this is god's way of telling you not to live in an area prone to wildfires.
