It's not about need. It's about the fact that they own the intellectual properties, and therefore, IMO, it's unjust for them not to get a cut. Need is irrelevant.

I feel the same way on this issue whether we're talking about some broke nineteen-year-old's first self-published novel or the MCU. Either way, the IP owner ought to have a right to a (reasonable, non-exorbitant) cut of the profits a fan writer makes using their IP.

My feelings of fanart are a bit of a different story. I don't really have any set opinion on whether the IP owner, ideally, ought to profit off of fanart sales. My inclination is to say no, they shouldn't. Or perhaps, only in cases where an artist is selling fanart prints in numbers greater than [X]. However, it's a issue I'm largely on the fence about.
