Keeping granite in good condition just means resealing it once a year, which stops staining from oils, wine and general use. Quartz is lower effort still, requiring nothing beyond a normal wipe down with warm soapy water. For commercial premises or households with heavier daily use, that can make quartz the more sensible pick, although granite still wins out for customers who want the individual character of real stone. Quartz resists most common stains without any extra effort on your part.
