There's a big difference between fanart and fanfic though. It's kind of impossible to directly plagiarize a literary style without lifting the entirety of a work. When you lift the entirety of an art style? Yeah, it's hella noticeable.

I've seen artists like the OP is talking about, and it's wrong in my opinion too, especially of these people are making money on it. I know there's a decent business in making prints, tote bags, basically a bunch of kitschy shit like on Tumblr and stuff, and yeah you're literally making money with a huge part of what makes that series iconic. It's pretty firmly against the law too. I know the My Little Pony fandom has had the legal department come down hard on several fanartists for exactly this because they were monetizing things, and/or they were using the ponies in a way the legal department felt was bad (I didn't follow the entire wank, not in the fandom). To be frank even using your own style, monetizing with characters that aren't yours to begin with is an extreme legal grey area with it being kinda illegal, but if you're a small fry you can get away with it most of the time.

Yeah, that was an odd thing for the poster above to say.

I love fic where they lift the original style, especially where the original was historical. It's a hard thing to do right, but when they do it well, it's such a pleasure. It's almost like getting a new novel from your favourite dead writers.

"It's kind of impossible to directly plagiarize a literary style without lifting the entirety of a work."

Huh? I have no idea what you mean, but I'm not sure if you know what you mean. It's entirely possible to mimic an author's style without simply replicating the whole book, people do it all the time.
