It’s not nearly as popular as Thai food (in USA) but it’s extremely tasty and flavorful. Plus, Indonesia is the world’s fourth most populous country.

First, just because it's big doesn't mean the food is good. I'm sure all countries would claim their food is "tasty and flavorful" (except maybe England).

Second, I'm guessing that it's dependent on how much immigration we've had. Fewer immigrants means fewer restaurants.

So you don’t like Indonesian food?

Maybe due to the non or less spicy eating habit of other countries including European and American cuisines.
For example spicy noodles from some Asian countries don't sell well in countries with non or less spicy eating habit. The producers had to change the flavour when exporting to some countries.

But Thai and Sichuan restaurants are quite popular in the US in recent years.

I don't see any Indonesians opening restaurants in the US. If they did, it might become popular. Thai food is pretty stiff competition, though--yummy! Indonesian is popular in Holland, because of the earlier colonial relationship. I don't know if it's popular elsewhere in Europe.

This doesn't explain anything.
