The characters on TV don't get more attention than the characters in SF&F books because the TV characters' sexuality is presented in subtext and baiting instead of explicitly. They get more attention because no one gives a shit about SF&F books anymore and everyone watches TV. I wish it wasn't so but it is.

(Okay some of it is probably because there's more subtext. But I don't think that's the primary cause)

I don't think OP is saying it's because of the subtextness, they agree with you and wish people obsessing over subtext would pay attention to the media which actually delivers instead.

canon romances bore me because then there's canon about how it works or how it went and i can't make it up. with subtext there's much less of a chance of a canon romance happening. I prefer it that way

I hate to be blunt, but very few people give a flying rat's ass about SF&F books.

(Not because they're bad, mind you, just because they don't.)

recs, then? I want good queer Sci fi books!

But TV has a wider audience, and book fandoms are usually more obscure and tumblr (which is where most of the stuff you're talking comes from) probably doesn't talk about them much.
