Joking aside, it also depends on your aesthetic. My folks kitchen, including the wood worktop, was really well done and my mum is diligent about cleaning it.
It now has wear, but it suits the kitchen which is in a more traditional style.
We stayed at a mate's that has some sort of white quartz stuff and we were forever cleaning anything that touched it. Often with that pink stuff. It was such a ball ache.
