I am not going to quote people because otherwise it is just huge quote blocks. But jumping in on the "why is character x more popular than y".

Being part of a household has a huge impact on fan-work or love from fans. As mentioned, Ichirin is a loyal member of the Myoren crew. Canonwise they are all tied to Byakuren thus they form for fans a household. Go find fan-work in household forms and you'll notice how she often gets along with Minamitsu. However, this still means nothing.

Consider the following:
Flandre is EX and canonical member of the Scarlet household (duh, little sister of the scarlet family)
Suwako is EX and canonical member of Moriya Shrine household (duh)
Koishi is EX and canonical member of the Chireiden household. (this is getting repeatitive)
Nue is EX and household paired with Myouren ? ? ?

... There is no relationship for Nue with Myouren aside that Byakuren accepted her presence as Youkai. Yet, due to this she is paired with the household in many fan work.

Mamizou is EX. A friend of Nue and that is about it. If we strip FS and purely look it at it on its own: Mamizou is nothing but just a tail like Ps mentioned.

Not saying this is the reason for her low popularity, but could be one of the reasons.

I like the retro sprite art style of this image.

Yeah, the problem is that, aside from being Nue's friend, Mamizou's is a nobody in Gensokyo. She seems to being having a great time on the human village tho.
Yet she has some reputation on the outside world, or at least she used to ? after all, she's supposed to be Danzaburou danuki. Even Nue calls her "tanuki leader" in Forbidden Scrollery.
But I think you pretty much explained it: Mamizou is not that popular because she can't be paired with popular characters.

It's a shame, that just show the huge shit taste of this fandom.
Jokes aside is still a shame.

The biggest problem is that the potential characters she does have to pair with, they are usually better paired with other characters that's more popular. (ie. Mamizou/Kokoro is overseen by Kokoro/Byakuren/Miko or Kokoro/Koishi, Mamizou/Kosuzu is overseen by Aki/Kosuzu, Mamizou/Nue is overseen by Nue/Myouren temple or previously Nue/Koishi/Flandre).

Or maybe Mamzoop just has an unappealing design. >_>
