What you're saying here only works if you're writing plot-driven stories and only using characters as tools in a plot. It's fine to have some minor characters who only exist to move the plot forward, but if you make your major characters like this, they usually read as cardboard cutouts.

When you write character-driven stories, you can't just change the reaction of characters to fit the plot's needs - it reads as not true to the characters and destroys the quality of the story. There's a certain amount of organic reaction from each character that is necessay for them to seem alive.

I enjoy character-driven stories much, much more than plot-driven ones, and I prefer to write the former. Frankly what you've said in your comments makes you seem pretty inexperienced as a writer, as you don't even seem to grasp the concept of organic character development people are trying to explain to you.
