As a church musician, I can kind of understand it. Many churches today don't use the organ. Agreed or not, the guitar is the instrument of choice, acoustic or not. Most hymns were arranged with a chord per note. That's a lot for guitarists. Using more modern chord progressions, slowing the progressions down a bit, sometimes makes it work. But, it's the great part about music. Everyone has their own opinion. One is not better than another.
