If Peter was the rock upon which the Church was built, why does the New Testament contain more correspondence written by and about Paul than Peter?

In Matthew 16, Jesus says to Peter, “Upon this rock I will build my church” (1).
Yet, as the early Church unfolded as described in the Book of Acts, Peter’s name appears 74 times (2). Paul’s name appears 179 times (3).
There are 13 Pauline Epistles (4), compared to Peter’s two writings (5).
If Christians base a large amount of their faith on the written word, and if Peter is the rock, shouldn’t there be more ascribed to Peter than to Paul in the New Testament?
