I think it's more akin to preferring chocolate over rum raisin. I think there is an actual listener preference outside of our world for mic-ed guitars on recordings. If it didn't matter, the amount of recordings with mics vs pickups would be split more evenly. That recordings lean so heavily to mic-ed guitars when it's a heckuva lot easier to just plug in, isn't likely just some accident.
