I think Phil has the correct answer.
I play a Musicman JP6 sometimes, with 2 humbuckers and one single coil in the middle
I must say that it can approach both the sound of a Les Paul and a Strat if you adjust things carefully. Like I wrote: almost. Nothing beats the originals of course, however some Muicmans are originals to me as well.

MIM version, got it on clearance for $399 since Fender is replacing them with an 'upgraded' (aka more expensive) model.

Different guitars make you play differently too.

Strat.
You can make a Strat sound like a Les Paul, but you can't make a Les Paul sound like a Strat.
You can`t make a Strat sound like a Les Paul. And vice versa, of course. That`s why many guitarplayers want both...
Some musicmans do the trick, almost.
You can't make a Strat sound like a Les Paul...but you can quite easily boost & fatten up the sound so that it will usefully serve where you would traditionally require that more "muscular" LP response.
Getting a Les Paul to do a Strat's job is not quite so easy ...and that I think is what Kovach was getting at .
[Though a responsive Les Paul with good PAF like pickups can deliver a spankier & more articulate sound than many folks would believe ...and some folks think the volume control on a guitar is just an ornament.]
[Edited again for dyslexic fingers ...or are they my toes ? that might explain a lot actually ]
I agree. It`s not unusual to have a humbucker in a Strat, and that will make it easy to come quite near an LP sound. Especially with modern digital amp/sound simulation options.
What makes a «Strat sound» is typically the the three single coil pickups configuration. How many Les Pauls with that config? That would be none except for maybe a few rarities that nobody wants anyway.
Then there’s the construction of those guitars that differs in a lot of ways. Everything from wood to hardware, scale, bolt on/setneck and so on that may not shine through when listening, but really means a lot to the player and how he/she interacts with the instrument.
For me, the one is not better than the other in this matter. They`re different animals and boLh excellent in their own ways. And there are 100`s of variations of both the Strat and LP. (Though quite a few more Strats)
Same with Fender / Marshall amps. There´s not one Fender and one Marshall amp.

1971 Gibson LP Custom Triple-pickup "Black Beauty" done with a red sunburst, DiMarzio pickups. It looks better than I can play it, and it feels like soft leather when I play it. Old guitars just feel so great.
