I think the Greek alphabet is used more widely because it has been used for thousands of years, while the phonetic alphabet was invented more recently for talking over the radio. The seemingly random words were picked for clarity, the same way you sometimes hear people say “niner” in military movies to differentiate nine from five. I’ve never seen it used for indexing outside of the military, or people trying to act military.
