It's simple, it's quick, it's addictive. Tap a screen to make a bird hover in the air. Dodge pipes. Do this until he hits one. Start again. The difficulty doesn't increase, it's simply a matter of endurance and time. It gives you a sense of achievement with minimal effort. Therefore the majority of players were probably non-gamers who use Facebook and text all day (a stereotype but true nonetheless), and it spread.
And that caused popularity. Simply the fact that something is popular causes people to like it. Virtually everyone at my school used to play it, but now, because the hype/excitement/whatever has died down (either because it was taken down or because it got old quickly), only a few do.
That's what I figure anyway. I could be wrong but I like thinking up theories like this.
