I've been a house head since the 90s, and I would definitely not describe most house music as instrumental. Classic house frequently had vocals, in both the Chicago and especially NYC/NJ (garage house) styles. Most subsequent subgenres of house followed suit, whether using vocal samples or singing. Instrumentals are a bit more common in melodic house, progressive house, etc but even then there's still a lot of non-instrumental tracks. I completely agree with the sibling comment that instrumentals are far more common in techno.
