It's mostly path dependence. Grenadilla is hard and stable, which means it is a good material to make something for which dimensional stability is important. It then becomes the wood of choice, which means the top instruments are made out of it. Lower quality instruments are made out of plastic once that's an option because it's cheaper, but they're lower quality due to production choices.
But now it's cemented in the minds of players that good clarinets are made of wood and bad clarinets are made of plastic. If they'd started making the top clarinets out of plastic -- just imagine the ads for a space age R13 -- and beginner Vitos were made of wood, it would be common wisdom that plastic had better resonance due to its stability. I mean, those wooden clarinets are for kids -- don't you know they crack all the time?
