She's just got no momentum right now. Even if she did, I imagine it'd be a digital book that would come out as a trade, possibly physicals if the sales were great.
Kara (all of them) having a past on Kyrpton only ever seems to get used for flavor text. "Oh she was kind of into science," or "she babysat Kal" but it's mostly just to color the main story being told. Like with Bruce's time training, it doesn't get fleshed out a ton outside of small flashbacks. You could absolutely set up Karen's time on Krypton to further develop her-- but the problem is that specifically with Karen, why would you? Most readers relate more to Earth than they would to a Krypton backdrop and she lost an Earth too. It has the benefit of alternate takes on characters the readers know, love and have an attachment to so they'd feel a greater sense of loss and connect more with Karen when she laments they're gone. I feel like any "on Krypton she..." would just come across easier with "on her Earth she..."
Not saying I don't personally want to see more Krypton, but it just seems likely we'd get more flashes back to Earth-2 than Krypton, particularly because that sets her more apart from Supergirl proper. E2 is usually more old-timey, so perhaps Starrware was cutting edge over there where on Prime Earth they're just one of many software R&D firms. Maybe E2 was actually more progressive socially and she's got trouble reconciling that with her current adopted home. Hell, maybe it was less progressive and that conflicts with the rose-tinted glasses she tends to wear when reflecting on it.
Her past is almost always used to highlight the JSA or what she lost, so whichever period of it the team wants to explore, adding some backstory is welcome. Just please, no more "oh she totally was going to have a thing with [new character] and they're back now so hey love interest-- scratch that, they're together now! LURVE!" Looking at you, Val-Zod.
As for the Barry Allen effect, yeah. It's a shame. Soon Supergirl will mine so much of PG's character that the people who say "PG's just boobs" will eventually be right. God, that hurts just to think about.
