Maybe the idea of metrics like this are only popular among people that read certain Software Engineering textbooks.

But yeah, code metrics still seem fairly niche. This may be because determining which parts of an application are crap is pretty easy (in fact it's usually painfully obvious), the problem is finding the time to fix the crappy parts.
