BtRL is more popular because BSG is. I'd never heard of WC before the WCS.

Are you kidding?  Luke Skywalker played the lead in Wing Commander (games and movies, IIRC)!  It's a classic.  BSG is a bit more modern, though, since the Sci Fi channel did that remake of it.

I do think BtRL has a bit more exciting flight system though, what with glide and such.
Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above, would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky!

Right now the Indie games are in the lead. The mods have ~48K votes distributed over 95 mods, which gives each mod about 500 votes (yes, I know that's flawed). However, the Indie games have ~6.7K spread out over 5 games, giving each game ~1.3K votes. (yes, this is too)

At the very least, one of the indie games is near the top of the total pile of games.

Actually the indie game votes are split over 10+, However we are in the 5 that have released a version large enough for them to call it a release. The other are in the "Unreleased" category, and in different awards.

Well in that case, the mod awards are split over 190 and we still win. :p

Wing Commander deserves it over BtRL. :p Granted they've had a lot more time, but the released product they've put out has been a lot better too, longer and more polished. (And honestly, a good bit more playable since it looks like someone mucked up the Mk VII zeroing.)

This is no pissing contest between two FS_Open based games. If it were up to the BtRL team, WCS would have been in top100.

Sad fact is that many mods/indies that deserve their recognition don't get it in popularity contests like this. People vote for mods they associate with something they've liked, and original ideas hardly get any attention at all. Still, there's hope with the editor's choice awards.
