Why does nobody talk about the moisture barrier step before click-lock installs?

I've seen three jobs in the last year fail because guys skip the plastic sheeting on concrete slabs. The planks buckle every single time when that vapor comes up. Anyone else have a go-to brand for that underlayment?

My old boss in Phoenix taught me that lesson the hard way.

Ugh, it's like skipping primer before paint, people always rush the prep work!

My cousin tried to skip priming her living room last year. The paint started peeling in like three months. It's a false economy that costs way more time and money later. Prep work is literally the whole job.
