I can’t speak to this very meaningfully, I’m such a novice when it comes to guitars; however, in my limited experience I do somewhat concur with your premise. My first guitar purchase was an electric and my first 4 months of attempting to learn were exclusively on that electric. (That’s ignoring the dabbling with my sisters acoustic as a teeny bopper, which I’m not counting because that was thoroughly without any guidance and it was over 50 years ago). I didn’t really develop much feeling for that guitar and while the online courses at the time got me started to learn a few chords and some rhythms, I lost interest and nearly stopped playing.
Then I discovered Tony’s Acoustic Challenge and began that at first on the same electric. Then I pulled out my wife’s old Takamine Acoustic. I do think I found that easier to be consistent, possibly because you don’t need to turn on your amp and plug in – it’s just quicker getting started. I only had one guitar stand so it was almost always the acoustic that stayed in the stan, while the electric stood close by in it’s case.
I can’t really say I have an emotional connection to any of my guitars. I have since bought a third, a mini because I was wanting to be able to easily take it with me when I’m on the road. I’m hoping this changes as my skills improve on this journey that has now been around 15 months.
