I think it's a bit of both?

Some people have much lower 'crush' threshold than other people. They get infatuated much more easily even with real people. Just like sex drive, there's a huge range. So yeah, plenty of people get crushes on fictional characters, especially if those are characters they find very attractive or feel like they understand on some deep level.

But there's also the fact that people use 'crush' to mean different things. I would, for example, never use the word to describe anyone I had serious romantic+sexual feelings toward whether or not a relationship ever developed, bc for me that's more than a crush. For me a crush is 'haha he's pretty cute' or 'haha yeah I get a little flustered when he talks to me'. But other people would use it in the opposite way, to mean someone they DO have real feelings for.

I mean, I guess since people fall in love with fictional characters and marry them on the astral plane, pretend they're having sex with them rather than their real life partner, spend months or years writing fanfic and maintaining fan pages to them, etc. I don't see how character crushes are somehow not understandable?
