Why is Mahoganey not desireable for a Superstrat?

[Death by Uberschall]

A 1/8th inch maple top will have little effect on the tome of a mahogany body. A 1/4-1/2 inch will.

No doubt the Maple topped Mahogany body guitars deliver the tone.
But the original posting was about why no love for a straight mahogany body,without a MAPLE TOP.

That would be correct. Safe to say that Mahoganey/Maple top is a proven combo that works.

And also an all maple neck without a rosewood or ebony fretboard.

I have this Charvel San Dimas Reissue - i think those were made in Ontario in the 90ies.
It's a full koa body (which I consider same as mahogany), birdseye maple neck with a very thick rosewood board. I always thought the thickness of the rosewood is there "just because we can". Now reading this I can imagine that was definitely on purpose.

Mahogany body and neck, maple top, ebony fretboard, lots of mids However they are much more low mids than high mids which may not be suitable for everything.
