Why would properly T-111 need replacing? It's just plywood with groves cut
in it.

Yeah. But I have replaced a lot of the stuff on several homes due to home
owners not keeping it properly painted and termites. This is particularily
bad in humid climates and especially if shaded by bushes.

That said, many sheds often do not get much attention after being built.

T1-11 is made in various forms by numerous companies. One type is made with a paper covered OSB. It needs to be thoroughly sealed or it won't last. Another type is made with paper covered hardboard. It will swell at every spot a nail pierces. The best one is described as "all wood". It needs no finish and will last indefinitely. By the way, T1-11 is not trademarked product name. It's merely the name used to describe a type of grooved siding. It can be made by anyone and still be called T1-11.

That is a very interesting answer, well worth the 14 years we waited for
it.
