I always tl;dr a bit on memes like this. I feel like just listing pairings is sort of unhelpful, so I end up writing a few thoughts, but then those "few thoughts" metamorphose into a paragraph and then I've got 7 pages of meme.

On my more cynical days, I suspect that the latter is more popular because Greg is white.

I think that even when I'm not feeling particularly cynical. There's very little fic for Warrick in general, and even less shipping him with anyone. Possibly Greg's also more conventionally attractive (part of which, sadly, is being white), but I'm really not sure what "conventionally attractive" even is anymore so I can't make that statement with any certainty.

I call the father/daughter relationship explicit because there's one episode where Wendy states "you're the closest thing I have to a father", but part of the reason I can ship them in spite of that is because it doesn't feel father/daughter to me. The Middleman in something of a mentor figure to Wendy, but he's not necessarily authoritative in the manner of a father figure - even he doesn't know what or where O2STK is, for example, whereas I feel like a father figure would know but would refuse to tell her. He's more in the manner of an older brother, like you mentioned.
