I know a lot of people go for Shep/McKay as the reason why they love the show (either slash OR friendship) but I think for anyone not drawn to that specifically (and it's hard to estimate but sadly you're probably right that it's low) then it's the unfinished characters that have a reasonable amount to do with it - plus Shep/McKay are largely unfinished too still. I know there's more canon wise to define them than others but with the amount of stuff left out by TPTB the versions we see by fandom are quite different entities often enough, even if they are following on logically from the shows roots.
But yeah, I'm probably not writing this well, still not at my best but I'm awake so I'm in need of occupyin my brain with something. No tonsilitus whee! Instead I got an upper respiratory tract infection, boo. :(
