Of course she's more famous. She's a girl. Despite the fact that Kirito somehow manages to meet more girls than men, it's still supposed to be a game where women are the minority.

Well, that and she's also the (sub) commander of a famous guild, and seems to be the raid leader for most of the boss fights.

She was already fighting on the front lines back in episode 2. On the first floor. So since the very beginning she's been in the top 1% of players. Your complaint is way too late. Based on her characterization so far, it seems to mostly be because she's much more motivated to escape than everyone else. Because she's not a gamer, she just wants to get out of here as soon as possible.
