I think part of the reason het and femmeslash are so unpopular with SPN fandom is that most of the female characters are introduced much later, after everyone has already formed attachments to Sam/Dean or Dean/Cas, as well as the fact that so few female characters ever have interactions with each other (notable exceptions being Jo/Ellen and... maybe sort of Ruby/Anna?), and rarely survive long. There's just not nearly as much material to base it off of

Just looking at the pairings you suggested, Dean/Lisa happened after both S/D and D/C. (plus lots of people think the development of Dean's affection for her came completely out of the blue). Dean-or-Sam/Bela should probably have more fic, but I can't imagine it being super popular given the short time given. Anna and Bela have literally no screentime together or reason to interact.

(Sam/Jess is an exception to the came-after-other-ships, but we barely see anything of Jess. And personally, I've never seen anything except love towards that ship, even if it's in a shallower, non-fic-reading way.)

I dunno, I'm probably just making excuses. But I do think these things play a big role.
