Is Storming the Spire unpopular with players?

i decided to fit out my newest ship with the Dyson Set.
When I looked up which Space Queues provide the Voth Cybernetic Interface, it listed Storming the Spire.
But for both the Advanced and Elite version, no players queued ever.

Is it that unpopular with players?
Or do they prefer to do the Voth Battleground (ground map) instead?

Me personally, I find the Voth Battleground boring and frustrating, it's too large and you have to run from point to point all the time, especially when the V.Rexes come out to play (often 3 at once!).
Bees like honey, they don't like vinegar.
Everytime someone makes a character that is an copy of an existing superhuman, Creativity is sad :'(

    In my experience Storming the Spire is difficult for typical players to score well on (resulting in a lower amount of marks). Borg Disconnected is the usual go to STF for Dyson Marks, and V-Rex's for the tokens.

    With the Voth Battlezone each run at the V-Rexs yields five Voth Cybernetics Implants. All three always appear at once. If you take down one and they all go down you still get the five Implants. People run to each to maximize the Dilithium payout.

    As far as Storming goes, it was bugged in the past yielding squat in Dyson Marks. Some people still fail to realize that you need to protect the Allied Transports as well as destroy the Voth Transports to maximize the point score for a higher payout.

    Again, some people hate PVE Queues that have timed subparts and especially hate the timer to start the Queue.

    It is one of the PVE Queues that is modified for use in the Shuttle Event that gives choice of and bonus Mark payouts, though I find Atmospheric Assault to be the quickest and best paying for that Event.

    CE Event is good and very quick but I had runs during the Shuttle Event where Atmospheric Assault paid out 270 Marks with the Daily Bonus and about 215 without the Daily.

    The Fleet Actions pay out considerably less and those require 20 people not 5. So pretty much forget about the KDF version. Getting 20 there is very, very (did I say very) tough.
