It's not uncommon for people to draw what's popular for sale at conventions. Actually that's pretty much the only guaranteed way to make a decent pull in, and if you're an artist that kind of needs the profits it's a common sense thing to ask what's "in" to appeal to their customers.
Personally what I like to draw and what happens to be popular fall under the same fandoms, so I'm saved from having to make that choice. But I don't judge other artists who decide to as well.
