I don't think it's so much lack of imagination as lack of enthusiasm. People write fic for fun in their spare time for free, of course they're going to write whatever feels fun at the moment.

Which is like 90% slash porn of the same two characters doing the same things in every other porn fic.

Seconding this so hard. I love fics that involve a lot of plot and nuance, and that flash out characters other than just the characters I ship. However, my feelings about a ship are always the thing that motivates me to seek out fanworks in a particular fandom. My feelings about my OTPs have always been...intense. A little obsessive, TBH. Very similar to the way one might feel when falling hard for another person. Like if someone says their names in a crowd my entire being goes "THEY SAID THEIR NAMES OMG BE COOL."

That's a much more powerful, motivating feeling than I get from...most other things. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy all sorts of other aspects in the fics I read. I just don't crave those other aspects to the same degree I crave shippy stuff.
