Well, the thing is that it's entirely possible to have AUs that still follow the canon characterization/portrayal? Even modern AUs, because I've read some really good ones in some of my fandoms that still hit the same characterization beats as the original canon. The problem comes when people take "modern AU" as an excuse to turn the characters into what are essentially OCs divorced from any similarities to their canon selves. At that point, what you're writing is only an "AU" in the barest sense of the word, because it's basically just original fiction that was inspired by the original canon. And sometimes even "inspired" is a strong word to apply to it.
