They serve different purposes, yes. But I don't think that makes one inherently worse than the other.

In my opinion, being insular in your reading IS worse. It's like if somebody only reads urban fantasy, I will probably not be impressed, the same way as if somebody only reads fanfiction. But with other genres, even crime - I mean I find Agatha Christie fascinating from a cultural perspective and the way she portrays people and events, as well as the window into the views of the time. By picking a genre and reading books from different countries, you can still broaden your horizons.

Fanfiction is more limiting. I am not American, but by being fandom and reading fanfics I have found that mostly I am experiencing the American way of thought and of life (more specifically, liberal American). Perhaps some British, and some anime-based Japan. It's the source material that is broadening, usually, not the fanfiction.
