Why i feel it is popular is because it does not try to diminish people in a counselling context to a collection of cognitions or learned behaviour, it tries to look at the whole person. Humanism itself as a philiosophy is older than Carl rogers, and has a fabulous intellectual history... it is also a good way to treat other people.

Carl Roger's model is also called "Person-Centered." As such, it revolves around the subjective, self-defined perspective of the person concerned. The model does not impose any pre-conceived notions other than those of the client's. The freedom inherent in it, without the "authoritative judgements" of the therapists, makes it more popular and acceptable to the general public than any other paradigm.

It's a positive approach to psychology.
We are basically good and criminality is a distortion.
Where as other eminent people in the field start from the tendency we are bad and have to be trained to be good.
