Hello dearest adventurers! I am the Confused Introvert, i dont know too much about D&D, but im the king of oddly specific and almost useless homebrew cantraps/low level spells, and am currently working on a setting called "Illogical Wizardry" where all of my useless and somewhat absurd spells are implemented to replace the good and known ones (mage hand, fireball, vicious mockery, etc)
It is not so much popularity, as it is the case that warlocks can be rather versatile, not quite as versatile as a Bard. This versatility comes with the rather unique baggage of what are the limits to the versatility of a warlock.
Its a fairly unique caster. Sorcerer/wizard blend together and the audience for that style of caster gets split between the two. And I think most other classes have the same type of issue. Fighter/barb they kind of fill the same niche and people who like one will swap back and forth fairly freely. Not themes but mechanically close enough. Warlock works mechanically differently enough, thematically is a bit different that people who want that are kind of all playing warlock, its not getting diluted as much by a similar class.

Does this help?
