Acoustic guitar vs Electric guitar for looping gigs

It seems a vast majority of gigging loopers play acoustic guitar rather than electric. What do you feel the reason for this is? My own thoughts are that acoustic adds an organic and relatable aesthetic to something that can be a bit “techy”. Where I live a majority of solo artists who gig play Americana. I personally don’t. I play classic rock, reggae, blues, soul and alternative. Electric guitar is fun while looping but still a lot of venues where I live prefer an acoustic aesthetic. Thoughts?
