Merino and Nappa have no top coat, so it makes sense to treat it with polymer coating, or leather cleaner/conditioner regularly.

My old E39 had Montana leather, it was not as nice as Merino nor Nappa, but it also had no synthetic top coat. That leather required regular leather cleaner and conditioner treatment, and still faded while approaching 100k miles.

The Dakota leather on my F30 worked exceptionally well for 8.5 years and 80k miles, with almost no maintenance.

These days low/no maintenance "leather" works just fine for me.
