It isn't one of the more popular blockchains out there because it makes several leaps in logic - most of which are likely promulgated by the fact that its core (and only) focus, it seems, is on increasing the transaction throughput without concern for the other relevant network metrics, such as:

  1. Size of the transaction

  2. Network throughput (gotta ensure that all of those transactions propagate somehow)

  3. Being an actual blockchain

Yes, #3 was stated here because Graphene does not represent blockchain, but rather a bastardization of it that many have been trying to hawk off oas as blockchain for a considerable amount of time.

DPoS or any other consensus variant of the like that is not firmly implanted as "Proof of Work" (and iterated as such), is bound to fail miserably. And that's just a tacit fact.
