I usually pick up one of my Gibsons and play it until it goes out of tune (10 min) and then remember I need to fan the nut out because they never did it at the factory and then go back to a Strat lol

Well, that's a tough one...
Sorry for the late reply, but here it goes, and of course, YMMV...
I did the exact opposite.
I began my player's career by playing Gibson shaped objects, and the highest end was owning a real Gibson 1961 Reissue.
It was a great guitar, in every aspect, but I always had a hard time taming it. See, I don't like humbuckers, in principle. They growl too much, they drive the amp too soon, they just aren't domestic.
I prefer pissing off a hound dog so much that it'll bite, to petting a tiger so much that it'll purr, of you know what I mean.
I never could really bond with that Gibson, and as soon as Fortuna allowed it, I traded it for a Rickenbacker.
Besides, my main instruments are Fenders, all the way.

I tend to feel more at home on a Gibson, I like my Fender's and other brands, but when I grab my Gibson's they just feel "right". I do love the sound of a Tele and a strat though.

I have two usual spots in the house where I play and have a guitar or two at the ready at each spot—currently a Tele at one and a Strat and my SG at t’other. That kinda represents my Fender/Gibson preference ratio. Fenders twice as often as Gibsons. My Fenders seem a little more expressive and a little easier to play, granted that I don’t have any joint pain issues, knock on wood. But go figure, when I lust after guitars on Reverb or YT, they are Gibsons: LPs or 335s. Lately I’ve been curious about Gretsches and Rickenbackers, but not sure I wanna open those expensive cans of worms.

That pretty much sums it up for me, except that I currently own zero Fenders. I’ve built all my Teles and Strats, except for the one G&L ASAT Tribute.

Right now I’m at 2 Gibson’s and 2 strats. One strat was a gift from my wife and is deemed untouchable. The other is a limited Custom shop that would be hard to replace. I’ll classify this as mostly untouchable. My 2 Gibbys are a blonde 335 and a Tribute LP. Those are not going anywhere soon . Only thing now is if I add to my collection without selling.

The truth is I’ve never been the slightest bit tempted to buy a tele and I don’t know why.

I don't think I could just marry just one brand or type of guitar. I love my Gibsons as much as I love my Fenders. I have a tendency to play more rock stuff on Gibsons, especially when plugged in with the humbuckers roaring and more blues stuff with my Fenders.

You’re missing the kerrrr-ang of a Tele through a Marshall.
Just sayin. 😉

A Tele is usually a wake-up call to how you really play. A strat is forgiving, a LP much more so. A tele is brutally truthful, but also extremely rewarding if you want nuance.
