I think part of the reason I enjoy piano so much is how much can be done with a single instrument. On guitar, I can play lead, chords, sometimes both at once, but mostly switching between the two quick enough that it seems the same. Or I can play chords, with some cool bass stuff over the top, but even then, I am limited.
Meanwhile on piano I can play cool melodies, whilst playing chords, and running a bassline at the same time. I can create a full sounding piece on piano, whilst guitar I serve as a part that needs a group.
