Because they're worth a shed load more money in good nick and because, with very few exceptions, there is far less interest in "vinatge" acoustics because the majority of them that could be associated with or of interste to people involved with blues etc were cheap crappy instruments - how else could those original guys been able to afford them.
There's also the fact that the "vintage" of acoustic guitars doesn't have clear starting points like, say, a Telecaster so you'd need to be looking at a 200 year old instrument to get any real sense of history.
Of course the most obvious reason is that the acoustic hasn't really changed that much during the last hundred years unlike the electrics which have been evolving year on year during many of our lifetimes and have certain "sweet-spots" in their history that people can aim for.
Add to that the fact that there's no real association with any particular brand and any particular musical style and the acoustic guitar's desirability remains focused on its sound rather than on any other side issues.
