The main reason why Aki is not more popular, beyond the untimely injury that was already mentioned, is because her behavior, her content, and her interests don't lend themselves well to memes, which is a big deal because memes are what put Hololive on the map in the first place. That said, this is not a bad thing. Variety is the spice of life, and having a talent who's a cute and lewd wine aunt for the people who want that is a wise and wonderful decision.
