You are correct. Much safer too, not having to lean over so much.

The commercial wooden tripod ladders I have seen in Ontario have the
side pieces and the rungs reinforced with metal rods, which add safety
and might be difficult for a home builder or carpenter to do.

The aluminum ladders are expensive but very strong and should last a
lifetime if not longer.
