I wholeheartedly agree with you for the most part, OP. Deliberately OOC fic makes me grit my teeth and cry.

HOWEVER, there are some select shows which either canonically have AUs, or which I personally need AUs as a coping mechanism. Example of the former: Stargate. Example of the latter: ASOIAF, ALL MY FAVES ARE DEAD OH GAWD. So for ASOIAF, although a lot of AUs written set my teeth on edge because they have no reason for existence other than fluffy wish fulfillment, and the writers don't have a grasp on the characters and how they'd be different in those situations, there are a few very special AUs which manage to make it so that my faves are all plausibly alive, or else in a modern universe that still holds true enough to the original 'verse that I can read it.

tl;dr sometimes it's OK/necessary for AUs especially when your Creator/God/Writer is a homicidal maniac.
