Can't really fault Lowes ...

1. one gets what they pay for ... those low, low prices come with numerous tradeoffs such as mediocre service, flimsy products, etc.

2. for the most part, the people who in work in "big box" stores of all types do not know the product - to assume otherwise is asking for trouble.

3. Lowes restriction seems quite reasonable ... most stores do not allow store credit to be used to purchase gift cards due to fradulent returns - I can't think of any major retailer that allows in-store credit to be used to buy giftcards.

On a related topic, next time, pay with a credit card (not cash, not check, not debit, etc) ... that alone greatly reduces problems when returning/exchanging items, etc; generally in-store credit is asking for trouble and should generally be avoided ... better to get the amount refunded back to credit card, etc.
