Why is wireless charging not popular?

Short answer: because it sucks.

Long answer: when I got my iPhone 6, they offered to sell me a supposedly "wireless" charging adapter with it. I considered that offer for all of ten seconds before rejecting it.

What, exactly, is the point of wireless charging? What benefit does it offer?

If I want to charge my phone, I still have to plug in the charging pad. If I want to take my phone in the car and charge it there, I still have to take the charging pad (or a conventional charger) with me. I still have to place the phone on the pad.

So what, exactly, is the point? The only benefit, if you can call it that, is I do not have to stick a wire into the phone. I still have to stick a wire into the wall, I just don't have to stick it in the phone. Yippee! Stop the presses, Clark Kent, it's a revolution! Except that it totally isn't. For the get benefit of being saved from all the tedium of putting a wire in the phone, I must deal with...rreeeeeallllyyyy ssssllllloooiwwww chaaaaaarging.

Woo-hoo, I think not.
