The guitar and piano seem like the two most widely-used instruments. Is that because of their resonance?

Guitars are cheap, portable, and you can go from knowing how to play no songs to strumming chords for several in a day (bless you, guitar tab!). In essence, the perfect starter instrument.
Pianos on the other hand are built and patterened to learn how to read music. My mom mandated piano lessons for a couple years as a kid, just so my sister and I could read music later on in life should we decide to pursue piano, or any other instrument, more seriously. Thanks to modern keyboards, they’re also now a fraction of the price they used to be, though I prefer weighted keys on everything given the choice.
Bonus: gets professionally tuned twice a year instead of needing to be tuned every time you play, or never tuned in the case of keyboards, so a good sense of pitch isn’t necessary to the instrument.
