You're not wrong - the plotting in a lot of fics isn't particularly good. As people above said, a lot of fans are in it for the characters and the emotions.
My real issue is that too many fics, especially shippy ones, just don't HAVE a plot. The characters exist in a vacuum with nothing but their relationship in it, and do very little but meet, talk, flirt, and fuck. I wish more fics would at least TRY for an actual plot.

That's because the canon is the actual plot and the fanfic is like the behind the scenes you wish was happening.

This. I loooove fics with plot. Especially those slow burn ones. But I've seen so many times authors actually apologising in the author notes because they are getting comments saying that there is too much plot and the "ship" isn't moving along fast enough. So I don't blame the authors for just writing the ship without much plot. It seems to be what a lot of readers want. I wish it was different though.
