I thought the same until I found this performance of BWV 639 on piano. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT19lmeMI6c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT19lmeMI6c BWV 999 on an actual lute is amazing too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnpaMm_2QYc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnpaMm_2QYc The ultimate problem with Bach is 1000+ compositions but only a few usually get mentioned as "the hits". Looking back I think I just thought of Bach as only sounding like fugues because fugues are his most popular works and what gets played on classical music radio here.
