Sherlock Holmes didn't become the iconic character that he is, inspiring countless adaptations and homages and copycats, because of plot of these stories. It's all about Holmes & co.

Exactly.

The OP, besides probably being a teenager who thinks their opinion original or shocking (ie, a troll), clearly doesn't know much about real literature: the biggest cultural impact of a book is not a function of the quality of the book or the realism of the characters or how well-written it is.

Books which are classics of literature do not generate the kind generational-spanning fandom some pieces of trash do (and please do not pretend to infer from this sentence that I consider ACD's books pieces of trash, that is not what I am saying). The number and quality of adaptations and public adoration of a book and its characters are not linearly related to the quality of a book and its writing.

Anyone to whom this is somehow news is clearly not a very literate person.
