It’s been a bit, but if I recall, it’s that the dishwasher already reliably cleans unsanitary things that are loads more biologically risky like cutting boards used for raw meat or potentially contaminated with things like Norovirus.
Running plastic cutting boards in the dishwasher is less weird to me, but in general it is a weird concept to me, it was just never done at home or at any place I did the dishes.
I could see it being safe from a germ perspective but when a little nugget of shit rattles around in the machine and ends up anywhere near what you’re using to eat that’s gotta suck, safe or not.

There’s a reason restaurants cannot use wooden cutting boards.
I always put my cutting board in the dishwasher
You should, heating it for three hours is better than sanitary wipes.
Sanity wipes?
What are people talking about here, I wash my cutting boards by hand in the kitchen sink, it has worked well for decades
