Huh, so I think I definitely came into fandom feeling this way. I got into fanfiction because of how much I loved other universes and possibilities, and though I prefer stories that do that, I guess I've forgotten that side a little bit.

I think getting to know a character/setting and getting invested in them takes work. Once people get used to how fanfiction operates, how you don't have to do the mental "oh this is how that works and who this is" effort, they get LAZY. I saw on Sarah Rees Brennan's blog today (she used to write HP) that she got hatemail for turning pro because "I thought they liked my writing and instead I was just a has-to-be-free-and-has-to-be-one-special-flavour candy machine." :(

I definitely think of fanfic as my "candy" reading and other original fic as my "nutritious" reading because of that effort. It's not really good, or necessarily true, but I do.
