Why does nobody talk about rebar stakes for shed anchors?

Last month I was helping my neighbor Mike bolt down his new 10x12 shed after a storm warning. He had these fancy screw-in anchors that cost him like $80. Then his old man walks over, looks at the setup, and says "you know a 2 foot piece of rebar and a sledge does the same thing for 3 bucks." Mike laughed it off but I tried it on my own shed this weekend, drove four stakes at angles through the skids. Rock solid. The screw anchors always wiggled loose after a few freeze thaws. Anyone else skip the store bought kits and just use rebar?

Honestly, love that your old man proved the cheap fix works better, rebar is all anyone needs.
