Yeah, neuro is a very DO friendly field. My school had impressive neuro matches last cycle (USC, UCI, UC Davis, Cleveland). The fact that more than third of the spots are filled by FMG's shows that the field isn't highly sought after by USMDs.
With that said, it's worth mentioning that the mean step1 for Neurology is on par with that of anesthesiology, EM, IM and even general surgery. It's higher than that of FM, OBGYN, Peds, PMR, and psych. This demonstrates that the field, despite not being highly desirable by USMDs, still attracts bright minds. I guess, Neurology in a way is a self-selective field. The pay isn't high (vs EM) and the hours aren't that pleasant (vs psych). Therefore, the field only attracts those are genuinely interested in it.
Neurology, along with IM, are the only two fields I'm considering at this moment, so take my biased opinion with a huge grain of salt.
