But why would they automatically expect canon pairings? In fanfic, where anything goes, canon pairings aren't a default. And in fact, in some fandoms, a fanon pairing is expected more to show up than a canon pairing.

Because even in fanfic, "where anything goes," the canon is still the common reference point for everyone involved. It's like if you're writing, let's say, a Law & Order fic, and you happen to mention offhandedly that one of the characters is a werewolf. That's not in the original canon and nobody coming into your fic expects it, and if there isn't any explanation or setup of how or why that person is a werewolf, it's going to throw people out of the story. But if you're writing Harry Potter fic and you mention that Remus Lupin is a werewolf, nobody's going to bat an eyelash, because it's canon. This is true even if the reader doesn't particularly like werewolves.

Non-canon things need more explanation and labeling than canon things, because (even though fanfic is "anything goes") canon shapes what people expect coming in.
