Apparently it's a Spanish thing. From the article someone posted below (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/amateur-restorer-botches-carving-spain-180976271/)

Spanish law currently allows amateurs to repair historic artworks—a fact that has led many conservation experts to argue for tighter regulations in the industry.

Are the owners of the art just contracting the cheapest possible option?

Not even cheapest, they recruit friends and family.

It'd be extremely hilarious if we didn't irrevocably destroy a piece of history every time it happens.
