It is done, because....gasp....the top wood does nothing for the sound.   Maple is for the eyes and not the ears when done on a top.

Check out this blurb from a 2011 "Guitars" calender.

Torres was a nineteenth-century luthier that made classical guitars.  He had been dead for sixty years before the invention of the electric guitar.
 
What this always comes down to is the individual as a player.

If a player can hear actual or percieved tonal differences and that makes them feel better about their playing, then the result is, they play better. When they play better, they enjoy it more and so does the audience.

Tone matters. No matter how you want to divide it, explain it, myth bust it, construe it, negate it, quantify it, or any other expletive you care to throw at it.

In the end, it matters to the player. All the other players are unimportant!
 
Of course it is ... just like mine is better than yours. That's why I own mine and you own yours.

My guitar is better than your guitar.

I see.

My amp reproduces my guitar's frequencies clearer than your amp.

(because it doesn't squash my guitar's signal with too much distortion
and due to going through a very simple circuit path)
