Canon can be out of character. Not because the fans are arrogant, but because authors sometimes write bullshit that contradicts everything else they've said about their characters before, without any explanation, character development etc. Sometimes pairings become canon even though they make no sense, even though the writers don't even try to explain why these characters are suddenly, randomly attracted to each other. Sometimes pairings get together in canon even though it's obvious they won't work out - and that's often the case with pairings that are completely random and an obvious case of "oh, let's put character A and character B together even though they have nothing in common and so far expressed not even the mildest interest in each other".

Authors aren't infallible gods. Of course they have the right to write whatever they want in their own creation, but fans also have the right to criticise that. Just like fans can call out authors for plot holes, they can call them out for lazy characterisation, lacking character development, and pairings that came out of nowhere. Not saying that there are no butthurt fans who whine just because their pairing isn't canon. Just saying that the fact that a pairing is canon doesn't say ANYTHING about how well it is written, how much chemistry the characters have got etc.
