I guess some people do this, but mostly I think it's just a matter of taste. Sometimes people don't care about characterization. Sometimes it's all about the tropes or kink that a fic hits. Sometimes the humor just works for someone. Sometimes there's a plot or a theme that people like. How many classic novels have you actually enjoyed? Some of them, sure. But how many do critics think are awesome that you found utterly boring? Beyond grammar, spelling, and sentence construction, a lot of judgment of writing is subjective.

But I've only ever commented on fic that I liked in some way or had a question about.

This. Some people are just not that picky about what they like. I've seen plenty of mediocre fics with badly written characters, ridiculous plots and laughable smut that still garnered gushing reviews. People might feel the need to be supportive, sure... but the fact is that most people will like something if they give it a try, and the more popular something else, the more they're disposed to like it.

That sounds a little fake, but it's not usually a conscious decision, it's just human nature. Lots of people find it comfortable to conform, and since most people aren't that finicky, well, liking something a lot of other people like isn't necessarily a lie.
