Because school districts have PAID TEACHERS teaching AP courses and proctoring exams. Among other factors, AP scores are calculated in a school's achievement profile/college readiness, so student's success drives their ranking. The more students who do well on AP exams, the better the school looks.

Popular? No, but the district has a self interest in offering the exam.

FWIW, I also took AP courses in 10th, 11th, and 12th grades...guess what? I didn't take any AP exams either. I only vaguely remember hearing about AP exams, and taking MORE exams didn't sound like anything I wanted to do as a teen!!!
