I mean, as long as I'm into it I don't care why they're writing it.

Though I do get a little annoyed when you see this and the person clearly has no investment in the smut and it just falls flat. Like all the right words were there but it just...did not work. At all.

Yeah, I feel that. It's always disappointing to read smut that's kind of paint-by-numbers, where you know the writer wasn't getting into the characters' heads and really feeling it (and by that, I don't mean to suggest that a writer needs to, like, actually get turned on or anything, but that it should at least come across that they spent some time imagining how the characters feel about one another, about the act itself, etc).

I've been thinking lately if that might be why so much romance in original fiction falls flat. The writer has a plan that involves two characters getting together, but they're detached from it in a way that makes it less believable.

Yeah, for smut to be good the author has to understand why the characters are getting turned on by what's happening, and I have read to much where they are clearly just being formulaic, and don't.
