I'm not a big fan of AUs in general and could never quite put my finger on why, but I think it's similar to what you're saying here. The thing for me is that I find it really hard to view a character as the same character if they have had a completely different background to develop their personality. So an AU where the entire setting is 100% different is basically an original fiction piece with characters named similarly to the source material as far as I'm concerned. Adaptations of the canon universe (like steampunk Middle Earth or w/e) feel more in character to me than just, say, plopping all the Dwarves from the Hobbit into a coffee shop in Denver.
