There is good and bad in everything:

I like lacquer for artwork, but there are so many problems with it now, that I switched to all urethane...but it has it's shortcomings too.

Powder coat and stick-on artwork, has taken over the sand rail market, and for good reasons, but the cars do not look as professionally finished.

Flat finish paints are an interesting, and lower priced alternative to "shiney", but there are disadvantages too.

...and so on. I often recommend things to people that make sense, even though they may be chosen over paint.
show quality powder coat is achiveable... I agree most people do not get it done, or coater know how to, or care to do it.

I agree that powder coat, paint, vinyl graphics etc.. all have their place, and should be used accordingly.
each process can due so much, yet none of them can do everything
