I like this idea a lot! Seems like a creative use for tech that by definition makes a best guess - there's something quite satisfying about "let's set this pessimistic guess against your marketing department's overly-optimistic one".
Honestly I think a decent architect would probably value something like this, even though I wouldn't expect to see them releasing the images publicly (and I imagine they're already considering the same realities of weathering and maintenance already if they're actually decent!). The third example makes me think yeah, whoever laid out that park probably was already considering the grey miserable days, and they've done a solid job even then.
This is along the line of what i was thinking, too. Designs have to be lived in and age, so a good design must take that into account. I think it could actually be quite cool for an architect team...

I think it could actually be quite cool for an architect team to release 'poor weather' renders for the right projects. Like a flex to say 'yea, we thought of that and it'll still be nice then'.

Ahh cost vs quality, an argument I'm well acquainted with in my own line of work (digital product design). I understand the frustration! In my original comment, I used the word 'must'...

In my original comment, I used the word 'must' speculatively as in 'must surely', but I shouldn't be surprised that this is a barrier you've faced.
I think it's a handy idea, the execution seems like it alters a few actual architectural details. It adds lots of small concrete structures everywhere that are not present in the original photos.

And the electrical boxes. So many electric boxes on that bridge.
I love the idea, but it already seems to be broken. That was fast.
Yeah, I wanted to try it with an image of my face and got some edge function failure. Seems like a fairly common loveable issue.
