I guess because the early Esquires were made with pine.
It makes sense as a tone wood though. Think about it... mandolins, violins, acoustic guitars and a whole host of other stringed instruments use what kind of wood as a top?
Spruce a.k.a pine.
Plus like you said, it's light... and it looks cool.
