It's relevant because of different cultures. It works in Japan because it isn't as litigious of a society and doujinshi prices aren't designed to really make a profit, they're designed to offset the costs of printing and travel expenses for cons and such. Once doujinshi artists start making solid livings off it, things would change. Doujinshi can be a stepping stone to legit original works, just like pulling a 50 Shades can.

If Western fan artists were getting so high-profile they were paying their way through college off of slash fanart shit would get real and copyright holders would start paying attention.

And if a fanfic author wanted to sell their bound work for a pittance at a con? Maybe just enough to cover the cost of binding the book and possibly the fee for the booth?

Preeeeettty sure there would be riots.
