Why do we still have to use coasters to save indoor tables when there’s water sealant for decks that protects against rain and UV rays (albeit temporarily)?

Indoor furniture isn’t built to withstand the extra chemicals and harshness of outdoor sealants. Using it on indoor stuff could actually damage the wood or make it unsafe for use. Plus, those outdoor sealants usually smell terrible and you don’t want that lingering inside your house.
