It's weird, but I actually find Crowley far scarier than Abaddon. Because with Crowley, he sometimes manages to fool people into believing they can if not trust, but at least rely on him.
Abaddon is cool, don't get me wrong, but... she's a warrior and a pretty straightforward one at that. She's evil and smart and dangerous, but...there's limits to what she'll think of.
Take that demon granny. To Abaddon the idea of making deals in order to get people's soul is beyond her understanding, she sees it as beneath demons. And yet that granny was one of the most horrifying demons I could imagine, worse even than that demon chef who used that nurses body to steal babies for Lilith. Because at least those babies died relatively quickly.
That granny demon specifically targeted children, children young enough to be comforted by someone who looks like a sweet old grandmother, aka, most likely under the age of 12. Children who have no understanding of the value of what they're giving away when that demon made her deals with them. some of whom might have even sold their souls for something as basic as a new toy. Kids who probably have no idea that they'll be pulled into hell for eternal torture.
See, that's what makes Crowley more dangerous than Abaddon, because he's a business man, an organiser, a governor as you put it. He understand that he could send an army and have more losses and less gain, than he could get out of people signing on of their own volition. Crowley starts far more of a chance of taking over the world, and people not even realizing he's ruling it, than Abaddon ever could by trying to take the world through force.
Because like at the naval base, people will investigate demon attacks, and much as people like to try to ignore the supernatural, I'm pretty sure that that'll only take them so far before someone opens their eyes and sees the truth.
Hell, just because the Winchesters haven't run into them, doesn't mean that there isn't some government task force currently keeping track of hunters and monsters. (esp. considering some of the crap hunters seem to get away with)
Abadon's straightforward attacks are far more likely to get enough attention that the government'll be left with no choice but to respond, eventually. Where Crowley's manipulation and subversion makes him seem manageable. (the way the authorities sometimes leave certain mob bosses or gang leaders in charge, because it's less dangerous, than the chaos that would come out of directly taking them out, when you can't stop the entire organization with them.)
