How can a half-built house be left in the weather with no issues? I’m talking about a wood frame with plastic in the rain type of thing.

Ex carpenter here. It’s not the rain that matters in rough framing. As long as things have time to dry it’s fine. Generally right after the rough in the roof gets done so no more direct water comes from above.
You might be surprised but its sun exposure that does a number on wall studs. Generally the lumber can still be a bit too wet when delivered so it isn’t finished moving. You can get some nasty bows after a few days of baking. But that’s what the back out crew is for. They go through and rip out or straighten bad studs before drywall.
