The condensation between the OSB aka vertical mulch and the Vinyl/ un-breathable siding has to go somewhere, good thing it has weeps. What is going to be happening behind the seamless in a few years time?

I know where there is a house that has Vinyl on it and you can smell the mold from the street!

WOW!

It sure would help us if we had dog smelling type noses

I do the same as Chris Currins. Pretty easy to shine a flashlight behind an overlapped joint or two.
Many areas around here did not require WRB behind vinyl even into 2005!!!
That much moisture behind the cladding would be quite concerning to me… but that’s just me.
