My wife and I both looked at this and remembered the stained wood on the exterior of our former house. And how much maintenance it needed (clear and semi-clear stains don't last very long). Neither one of us wanted to relive this experience, as nice as this house looks when new.
I know when they built the new stands for the stadium in Ottawa that the wood they used was specifically planned to age to a silvery patina over time. I wonder if that is the intent here as well, because maintaining it in that condition seems like a herculean task.
