I would attribute that to his sp/sx instinct stacking. Sp/sx people will commonly talk about casual day-to-day matters as well as topics pertaining to feelings, sexuality, relationships (sx being their 'creative' secondary instinct), and that is irrespective of their quadra assignments. Sp/sx is described as one of the most grounded and also one of the most regressive stackings perhaps because it chooses pays attention to the very basic, common denominators of living experience, which is a lot of what Louis' comedy is about.

The way he openly discusses the most private aspects of his family life on stage, and does so with an almost grotesque exhibitionism, was mentioned as a trait of sp/sx on enneagram forums (this was written by a posted who types as sp/sx himself):

Sp/sx also has an inverted narcissism (perhaps distorted exhibitionism is more accurate). There's an impulse to open the raincoat and reveal cancerous lesions covering the torso and genitalia. Festering wounds with a stench. It sometimes seems to be a challenge issued around deep, deep bonding: This is me; How real are you willing to be? Psychic nudity/revelation that, in itself, threatens the sp/sx with self-destruction....or at least social self-destruction, which is part of the distilling process toward the one-to-one uber-bond. There's an element of all that with sx in general but sp/sx, in this mode, prefers it truly organically grotesque, leaving a stain and a scar that's hard to interpret.
After I've delved into enneagram types and instincts in some more depth, I've noticed that many traits that socionics attributes to Si, in enneagram get attributed to self-preservation instinct, to the point that the two are virtually indistinguishable. Though after witnessing gammas and betas concern with typical Si matters, it seems like it is socionics Si that has been mis-identified:

Self-preservation instinct responds to practical concerns of everyday life. SP types express concern centering around issues of security, food and health, employment, sustainability. In relationships, sp-first people focus on nesting, domesticity, building a cozy home with someone, or may fantasize about such scenarios.
...
The SP energy manifests as "conserved", "grounded", "tightly coiled", "planted", "immovable". The energy is usually heavy in its nature, as if the person is attempting to function while carrying some great weight on his or her shoulders and conserving energy for later personal use.
...
Topics SP types might talk about: food, dining out, dieting, nutrition, health, fitness, appearance and looks, money, savings and sales, shopping, employment, benefits, insurance, comfort, clothing, decor, interior design, strength, vitality, sickness, death, noise, discomfort, safety, security, environment, quality or durability of objects such as car, clothing, furniture

That's his instinct stacking manifesting once again. Sp/sx generally has a grounding, dulling effect:

- sp/sx - dulling, calming, quieting, grounding, descending, lowering, dampening, numbing, desensitizing, exhausting, deadening, extinguishing, making still (link)

Looking at Agee's latest thread in Beta quadra titled "Fuck IEIs" it sounds like he is the one who needs empowerment and mobilization lol. Imo those are just vague, faulty stereotypes that are not suitable for typing - SLEs aren't omnipotent energizer bunnies and Beta quadra isn't the drama queen central. Looking at what's happening on this forum, there has been quite a bit of drama spurred by members of Serious quadra (the Maritsa discussions for example).
