Why? Well
I think the one obvious reason why would be the ratio of sheer numbers of "production" guitars vs boutique available to try or buy .
Not to mention many people are not interested in buying "used"
And then of course , the concept that there may be little to no real noticeable or actual difference in the sonics or quality of a top of the line "production" guitar and a boutique/luthier build, at any where near the same price point , or perhaps at any price point .
And then last but not least logically , objectively, and realistically the only reliable way to tell or know the above , would be to play both at the same time and in the same room. Which more often than not is logistically impossible.
Which are no reasons not to buy boutique, but certainly represent some reasons "why" most do not.
And yes individual "milage" indeed varies
