I don't really want to read the rest of the comments because I can't emotionally handle potential downers tonight, but let me offer an answer that's probably new-ish.

Maybe the fandom is a mixture of:
1. Large and quiet. Not the types to want to write fanfiction, more the type that likes watching the show and doesn't feel like they could add to it with fanfiction.
2. people, like you, who have a "main" fandom and they go to PoI as a quiet little retreat to enjoy on their own
3. more spectators than writers/artists/RPers, people who read and review. Fandom work patrons and supporters rather than producers.
4. Veteran fans who don't want to get involved with a community because they simply cannot with the potential drama.

I'm saying that because they're mostly my reasons for staying out of fandom. I've been following two or three things with the consistency of a fan, but reading fanfiction and participating in discussions regularly doesn't appeal to me that much after going through the Harry Potter fandom.

OP

Actually, you might be right on all counts. I get so tired of fandom politics, especially about shipping. I just want to enjoy. And I am enjoying this show so very much right now.
