To some people's point, it's often a lazy chord choice chosen based on grip and "coolness" than harmonic quality. That's prevalent in a lot of modern acoustic styles, especially the worship music scene where "sus" and "add9" chords are used without any classical sense of resolution. Again, that's not wrong, but I've heard enough Jesus-songs that are some variation of Eadd9 to Bsus4 to Asus2 to Dadd9 for one lifetime.
