How come it seems like half of the doujins in my searches end up either Idolm@ster or Touhou Project parodies? What makes these two franchises so popular among otaku in general?
Large amount of girls, something for everybody's tastes.

Being a pair of long running video game series with loadsa memes rather than a flavour-of-the-season anime.
Established and devoted fanbases. Over a hundred girls between the two. It's not rocket science,

There's probably 100 girls in each other them separately.
Touhou should get some weird anime like Xenoglossia.

There's close to a hundred Touhou girls but I don't keep up with idolm@ster so I wouldn't know.

They are both franchises made to satisfy otaku's lust.
They did a good job.
