Pi electrons prefer to be delocalized over as many adjacent sp2 hybridized atoms (or sp hybridized atoms in some cases) as possible, and aromaticity is the most stable form of pi electron delocalization. Pi electrons cannot delocalize onto or through sp3 hybridized atoms since an sp3 atom has no 2p orbital available.
