A couple of reasons:
1. Large diaphragm condensers have greater low-end sensitivity and can be harder for a new recordist to get a handle on. They also transduce more LF environmental noise for the same reason.
2. Small diaphragm condensers tend to have a more sparkly high-end. Of course, if you are trying to tame a bright guitar, a large diaphragm condenser could help.
