I actually do see some Danny/Jackson around, though it's certainly not a big pairing. But the argument for why making Sterek canon would be "progressive" actually does hinge on Stiles and Derek not being visibly gay/bisexual characters; particularly for a teenager who is starting to realize they're bisexual and doesn't know how that works or if it makes them weird, seeing Stiles go through the same thing could be a huge help. Whereas Danny is a role model for gay teenagers only. Not that that's bad, definitely not, but there's far less representation of bisexual people than there is gay people.

As for pairing Stiles with Danny being more progressive than with Derek, there lies a danger of how the show would thus portray Danny. He has many more traits than just being the gay character, but having the show pair him with Stiles would lessen that and increase his role more to "Stiles' boyfriend" rather than "hacker and lacrosse player and Jackson's best friend and also gay", especially since he's a supporting character to begin with and isn't given as much depth as the main six. People on tumblr throw around the term "Gay Yoda", and it fits, too; Danny should not have to be the only example of homosexuality on the show, nor the magical being who knows everything about it and serves only to help Stiles. Whereas Derek, being in the main cast, is much more well-defined in terms of traits, so adding "likes dudes" onto there wouldn't become his primary focus. And him having no idea what to do with a gay/bisexual relationship (or relationships at all, really) would be both more interesting and more understandable to our theoretical confused bisexual teenager.

Of course there's nothing wrong with shipping Danny/Stiles, and there are some good arguments to be made for it. But I don't think it's more progressive than Derek/Stiles.
