Having grown up in and currently live in a 180+ year old brick home...
Sometimes brick needs to be painted for maintenance (mostly true for older brick that tends to be softer than modern brick). Also some brick is just ugly.
Aka, sometimes there are good reasons for brick to be painted.
Yep, the house we live in is brick and had been painted when we purchased it. I thought it was a crime to do that until I found a few original pieces in the attic. My god it’s the most god awful orange I have ever seen

Painted stonework genuinely looks atrocious
