This is simply people's opinions. I think people prefer orchestras because there are more porfessional orchestras than professional concert bands, there is a larger variety of music for orchestra, and the orchestra can have a larger variety of instruments.

In the classical era, the string quartet was primarily intended for private performances in salons and chamber music settings rather than large public concerts. This intimate setting allowed for nuanced communication between the musicians and a close connection with the audience. Composers like Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven wrote quartets that explored intricate musical dialogues and emotional depth, showcasing the capabilities of the ensemble. These works laid the foundation for the string quartet as a significant genre in Western classical music.
