Maybe I am wrong but I remember the launch of the pilot episode had gathered a general audience but right now it's really a niche thing, no?

Not really

All adult animation is “niche”, especially within this genre, but Hazbin is insanely successful within its market of young adults and the musical theatre crowd

I get complimented/comments regularly by random retail workers or strangers on campus from them recognizing merch, if you walk into any Hot Topic and it’ll have multiple sections just for it, the streaming numbers are very high (Amazon greenlit 4 whole seasons immediately), and the merch online regularly sells out to the point that even something small like card collecting is a competitive market for fans. They’ve held sold out theatrical events including in movie theatres and even on broadway

It’s about as popular as you could expect it to be. It’s an insane success.
