As I think a couple of people have commented, I feel like I see more attention to setting and atmosphere in AUs, where the burden of worldbuilding is on the fic author instead of the canon. The other places are usually things like literary canons with very distinct voices where fic authors make an effort to echo the original tone/atmosphere of the canon, or fic for genres with very distinct atmospheres like noir or horror or the punk genres, or fic for very broad, intricate canons that fic authors focus on unusual parts of (or canons with great ideas but dodgy realisation, where fandom sets out to explore some of the glossed-over implications).

I think it depends on the original canon and how easy/difficult the original voice is to replicate? And on the tone of the fandom and how well it takes to certain things. Instinct might suggest that meta-heavy fandoms might lean more towards setting-focused fic, but I've no idea how well that hypothesis tests in reality.
