As an aside, I think part of why they can be interesting to me is because of one of the things I've seen people complaining about: that the dead person exists only as a motivator for another character, not as an autonomous entity in their own right. I know that can be a sign of lazy writing (as in, "they're not here so I guess developing them isn't important"), but I also kind of think that unintentionally touches on something really good. Because the thing is, that character isn't an entity in their own right, not anymore. They're dead. They only exist in the other character's mind, probably in simplified form. And seeing as even very strong memories and impressions can degrade over time, especially when they're being rehashed again and again, you may end up with only a very vague idea of who that person really was. Maybe the surviving character doesn't even have as clear a picture as they might once have had. So it's this person dedicating themselves to this faded, distorted image of someone who they're never going to get back. So I guess the problem isn't that the dead character is flat, it's just that no one ever seems to go in to why they logically would be flat. Which is kind of the most interesting part to me.
