WOW I dont think I have ever seen redwood rot.

You just haven't waited long enough. I have a client who wants me to
power-wash her redwood deck, because it's all gray and black. I could
get most of it off without damaging the wood, but the other 10% of the
boards would just disintegrate--they're that rotted. She doesn't want
to pay for redwood, so past repairs have been pressure-treated pine.
