No "Maybe" about it ,,,,it is Totally subjective and there is no right or wrong . There is only I am going for this, or that, type of sound.
IF you are wanting to get as close as possible to unamplified in the room natural acoustic sound ,,, all else being equal, a mic will almost certainly get you closer.

That said there is nothing (repete nothing) inherently "wrong' with the sound of recording direct thru a pick up. It totally depends on what you are after
