UExcels are more popular partly because there are far more students attending Excelsior - and instantcert.com picked up on that. I trust instantcert.com in what they prepare for flash cards than what one student may have done. I think instantcert.com probably goes through several trials and rounds of revising their notes before finalizing it. That's because they have a vested interest in producing quality products with solid student feedback/data otherwise people would look for better resources. Instantcert.com has been very good on providing accurate review information for exams and in particular for any/all the exams I've mentioned beforehand.
I briefly looked at some TECEPS (The ones that were covered by instantcert) but feedback was scarce and the few that were there said those exams were very hard (some/all of them are writing not multiple choice). Instantcert.com doesn't even advertise TECEPs, they only advertise CLEPS, DSSTs, and UExcels. I think most students are more comfortable doing a multiple choice exam where you don't need to fully know something and can guess correctly/be familiar with something. Again, I don't care about mastering the subject, I care about getting quickly getting credit at least attempting to get a good/decent GPA.
Most TECEPs are all or mostly multiple choice. Did you even bother to read the test descriptions? Instantcert does advertise TECEPs. When was the last time you visited the website? TECEPs are on the front page.

The reason why TECEPs weren't as popular is because they used to be much more expensive and required an on-ground proctor. Now, TECEPs are cheaper than Uexcels and can be completed in your home. This is a recent change. TECEPs also don't depend on ACE or NCCRS recommendations because they are treated as in-house credits. You're earning credits directly from a regionally accredited school. This makes TECEPs more transferable because you're not transferring TECEPs; you're transferring TESC credits. They are, essentially, challenge exams.
