Yeah, most stuff from the 70s on will have a polyurethane (plastic) finish that doesn’t age and wear like nitrocellulose does/did.
Agree with Fatberg, the relic craze as far as I can tell is partly people believing that something that is “worn in” looks, sounds or plays better, and partly boomers wanting their dream vintage guitar but not being able to afford what an original 50s/60s Strat costs.
