A pretty obvious explanation as to why Odin has more games written in it is that the language is somewhat explicitly marketed towards that use-case, even going as far to have a vendor library collection that includes many popular game dev libraries.

I am using games, because they pop up more often (gamejams etc), but we can see the same if we'd look at utility apps. Do you want to broaden that to "Odin is more explicitly marked towards writing applications", but if so what would that say of Zig?
I would begin by questioning the premise. Do you have actual numbers on this? I’m not really aware of any widely adopted software that’s written in Odin. Can name multiple in the case of Zig
