At least in areas of TV I'm familiar with, there's hardly any "paint on wood". Hardly anyone uses exterior "paint on wood" these days, other than perhaps "trim". I've been building homes & buildings for 35+ years and have never used paint on wood, other than for a few random trim pieces.

Every stick framed home I've seen in TV, has vinyl siding & trim ... not "painted" unless someone changed from the original color..

In my experience, paint on stucco usually has a life span of 5-7 years, which is fairly similar to the life-expectancy of a quality, exterior stain.
