it isn't planted more because it's wonderful. Is there some drawback to
it
that other poplars don't have?

I agree~~~ a lovely fragrance from the sticky buds. However I have
found it very prone to both bacterial and fungal canker as well as severe
die-back. I've always had to start again from cuttings every few years.

Oh dear! Maybe that's why it isn't more widely seen.
