If you are the best musician in the world and your instrument is well cared for and pristine why are you less admired than someone who beats the heck out of their instrument?

You aren’t. I don’t think there’s anything to the notion that one is more admired if their guitar has scars. As mentioned, some just like the way they look and/or play. An original 1952 blackguard Telecaster is unobtainable for most people because it’s crazy expensive to buy one. But you can get a reproduction from a number of builders that sounds, plays and looks pretty darn close to one for a fraction of the cost.
