They're already got fame and fortune, so most don't need an expensive, high-end guitar to show off. Their guitar(s) is the tool of their trade, just like carpenters often use the same hammer they have owned for years, or a golfer uses that trusty OLD putter. So they use the guitar(s) that they bond with best and are perhaps "one with" on stage (and maybe for practice), and one that gives them the sound/effect they're seeking to musically achieve. Each performer is different, as each of us are. Some might collect expensive cars instead of guitars. Who knows? Not to mention there is a point of diminishing returns on guitars, and price does not always directly correlate to "better" (which is subjective and in the eye/ear of the beholder). Whatever they play or own, I'm thankful for all the great music they've created and shared with us all these years!
Cheers!
