I use boiled linseed oil. It's really cheap and effective, but not as easy to apply.
Some of us don't even need to ride hard to need rust protection. I live 500m from the sea, sometimes early in the morning you can even taste the salt in the hair when going outside. Everything rusts here, even bikes in a closed garage.
Treating a frame pre-build is something that takes about an hour to do, well worth the hassle.
I use boiled linseed oil for everything, protecting my car chassis, as a threadlocker and as a wood treatment.

Bikes: 1961 Ideor, 1966 Perfekt 3 Speed AB Hub, 1994 Bridgestone MB-6, 2006 Airnimal Joey, 2009 Thorn Sherpa, 2013 Thorn Nomad MkII, 2015 VO Pass Hunter, 2017 Lynskey Backroad, 2017 Raleigh Gran Prix, 1980s Bianchi Mixte on a trainer. Others are now gone.
This Bridgestone had been stored outside for over 10 years before I bought it at a garage sale for $5 USD.
It now is my errand bike and I store it outside too. But, I put framesaver in the frame when I rebuilt the bike since I planned on it being stored outside.
