Factually incorrect; the board is 2 inches by 4 inches (or whatever the marked dimension is) when rough sawn. After kiln drying and milling, it will be 1.5" thick and 3.5" wide. It still took 2 by 4 inches of the tree to make so that’s what you pay for.
Comment on 2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Nominal size is supposed to be 1.5

Do I get the sawdust in a bag with it?

This one of those things that sounds correct, but isn’t even remotely true. Like not at all, not even based on anything even.
Wall finishes varies in thickness, and the milled wood also varies in final dimensions depending on moisture content.

When I was designing kitchens, I and literally everyone in the construction industry around me all assumed that drywall was 1/2”

Fire rated partition wall? 2 layers of 5/8 each side for a total thickness of 6”

Come to think of it I think we were modeling it as 3/4 on each side, because I seem to remember the 3.5” 2x4 stud becoming a full integer thickness with drywall on both sides
