I would say I've always been the same, learnt on electric have had a couple of acoustics over the years, but always because I thought I should rather than I played them.
That's hilarious. I have one acoustic guitar for the same reason. I thought, as a guitar player, that I should have one. Now I am trying to figure out what to do with the thing. I never play it, I don't want to play it, it needs to be "humidified", and it takes up space. I am certainly not going to carry it to gig and do acoustic on a song. I am thinking of selling it.
A couple of years ago, I was at a restaurant, with my family. They had two guys singing and playing guitar, doing some nice vocal harmonies. They were covering a lot of older stuff, like Ricky Nelson and Everly Brothers (it was Sunday afternoon at golf/country club type family restaurant, open to the public). They sounded good, we were enjoying the background music. I couldn't see them from where I was sitting. When we were leaving, I got to actually see them. They were two older guys, in their 60's, one with and acoustic and one with an 80's style PINK Jackson (see attached pic). I thought it was two acoustics. I'm not saying that the Jackson sounded just like a Martin. Without seeing them, and listening to the mix, I just assumed it was two acoustics. That made me realize that I never need to play acoustic again. If I ever did an acoustic gig, I am going to bring my Jackson soloist and make it sound as acoustic as possible.
