All that concrete looks great in architect's sketches and even when it's just-built. Then it gets dirty immediately and forever.

Not to mention painting is not simply decorative.
The paint protects concrete from external agents preventing pathologies.

I like big concrete in tropical places, is a nice contrast from all the green, it looks cool (temperature wise) which is what you want in tropical. In less green places it looks imposing and evil.

A nice whitewash has the same effect in a more comfy, traditional way.

Or the other way like in the Philippines and parts of Latin America. Make it really colorful. Why the heck not?
