On the one hand, it is very true that people do this a lot. On the other hand, there is a big difference between a canon character who is already canonically in that world being present but turned into a Sue vs. an OC Mary Sue who is not from the original work being added in and taking over the plot.

A lot of people simply aren't interested in OCs, especially ones that dominate the plot. And Mary Sue OCs tend to be self-inserts of the authors who readers aren't necessarily going to relate to or care about.

This!

I think some people don't know what a Mary Sue is, or assume that a canon character that other characters all like and who triumphs over things is a Mary Sue.

The concept of a Canon Sue is what I think is nonsense. It's called a protagonist, and MAAAAAAANY male action heroes escape that judgment.
